Yemen 2007 Crime & Safety Report
U.S. Embassy Sanaa issued the following Warden Message on April 30, 2007:

The U.S. Embassy has information that a campaign to collect signatures in support of the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem is planned in various locations in Sanaa from May 1 through May 4, as follows:

May 1 – Al Madina Hall, Shumaila Market
May 2 – Bab al-Yemen
May 3 – Tahreer Square
May 4 – 70-Meter Park

The campaign is expected to last from the early morning through the late evening at each location. While it is expected to be peaceful, this event may attract large crowds, and Embassy staff have been advised to avoid this area due to congestion and road blockages.
