The Honourable Rob Nicholson, P.C., Q.C., M.P. for Niagara Falls, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today issued the following statement:
“Canada strongly condemns the barbaric terrorist attacks on two mosques in Sanaa earlier today that claimed the lives of more than 100 people and injured more than 300 others.
“Canada continues to be deeply concerned about ongoing violence in Yemen, including deadly clashes yesterday in Aden.
“The political instability and ongoing violence in Yemen will only continue to destabilize the country and exacerbate the severe humanitarian crisis faced by Yemenis.
