KHARTOUM/SANAA: Sudan has rejected a US request to send special forces to protect its embassy in Khartoum following violent protests against the American-made anti-Islam film, the SUNA said.
“The US government has expressed its wish to send special forces to protect its embassy in Khartoum after protests,” but the Sudanese authorities “refused to welcome these forces,” SUNA quoted a spokesman as saying.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni Parliament said it rejected the presence of US Marines in Sanaa to boost security at the American Embassy against any further protests.
In a statement, Parliament affirmed its “rejection of any form of foreign presence” in Yemen, saying it was up to the government to provide security for foreign embassies.
