美国拒绝在也门撤侨 遭问“是否向中国求助”
时间:2015-04-04
“美国有撤侨计划吗?”
“没有。”
“中国军舰帮助其他国家撤侨了。”
“嗯……”
上述尴尬的一幕,出现在昨天的美国国务院例行记者会上。媒体称已有美国公民在也门遇害,但美国国务院发言人哈夫表示,美军没有撤侨计划。她给了一个微妙的理由:“鉴于也门当前局势非常危险、不可预估,派军队撤侨会让美国公民置于更加危险的境地。”现场记者当即追问,一艘中国军舰已经帮助撤离了其他外国公民。哈夫无言以对。
中国外交部发言人华春莹昨天表示,2日,中国海军临沂舰搭载巴基斯坦等10个国家在也门的225名侨民自也门亚丁港平安驶抵吉布提。据初步统计,撤离人员中有巴基斯坦176人、埃塞俄比亚29人、新加坡5人、意大利3人、德国3人、波兰4人、爱尔兰1人、英国2人、加拿大1人、也门1人。此前,中国政府在自也门撤离中国公民行动中,还协助罗马尼亚、印度、埃及等国的8名公民平安撤离。
“此次撤离是中国政府应有关国家请求开展的人道主义救援行动,也是中国政府首次为撤离处于危险地区的外国公民采取的专门行动,充分体现中国政府‘以人为本’的理念和国际主义、人道主义精神。”华春莹说。
半岛电视台4月3日报道,一名40岁的美国公民在也门港口城市亚丁遇害,成为数周以来也门动乱中丧生的首位美国人。
这名遇害的美国公民名叫贾马尔•阿拉巴尼,来自加利福尼亚州奥克兰市。当地时间本周二,他从清真寺回家途中遭遇迫击炮袭击,不幸丧生。
英国《卫报》4月1日采访了多名在也门的美国公民,他们称感觉自己遭“政府抛弃”。美国国务院建议他们通过民用渠道离开也门,但目前沙特在也门划定了禁飞区,客机难以通航,而陆路交通更是异常凶险。
以下为4月3日美国国务院例行记者会就也门局势的问答实录:
记者:你能证实美国公民在也门丧生的消息吗?
哈夫:不能。我看看目前所掌握的情况。我们当然已经看到了报道。我想想。有了。我们知道有报道称一名美国公民于3月31日在也门遇害。我们正在核实相关消息。目前还无法证实。
记者:对于还在也门的美国公民,美国是否有计划采取更加积极的撤侨行动?
哈夫:没有。
记者:为什么?
哈夫:首先,我想我们十年来一直在警告美国公民不要前往也门。这不是说(因为我们发过警告所以)不撤侨;我只是提醒大家(我们曾发出过警告)。第二,我们必须按照安全局势和可行性来进行评估。鉴于也门当前局势非常危险、不可预估,派军队撤侨会让美国公民置于更加危险的境地。在其他地区,我们曾帮助美国公民撤离。例如,机场还在开放的话,我们就可以通过商业航班撤侨。当然,在也门没法这么做。所以,我们还在持续评估安全局势,我们会考虑各个选项,但现在没有计划——没有改变计划。
记者:一些国家已经动用本国军队——
哈夫:没错。
记者:——撤侨。一艘中国军舰已经帮助撤离了其他外国公民。
哈夫:嗯……
记者:如果你们不想动用本国军队撤离美国公民,有没有想过向其他国家寻求帮助?
哈夫:我没有听说过。
记者:好的。我的意思是,当地的美国公民——也门裔美国公民说,他们觉得自己被本国政府抛弃了。
哈夫:呃,我们当然没有抛弃他们,但我觉得,我们目前的困难是,我们曾经发出过非常严格的旅游警告,告诉大家不要前往也门,如果去了,美国政府只能提供有限帮助,尤其是,目前我们的大使馆已经关闭。所以,我们当然理解目前的困难。我们正在研究各个选项。但你必须衡量当前局势对撤侨行动的影响,可行性有多大,能动用何种资源,有多大风险。所以,需要相互权衡,我们正在研究。

Washington Has No Evacuation Plans for US Citizens Stranded in Yemen
US Department of State spokesperson Marie Harf said the White House does not have plans to evacuate US citizens from the war-torn Yemen.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The United States government is not planning to evacuate US citizens from Yemen, US Department of State spokesperson Marie Harf told journalists.
“There are not [any plans],” Harf said on Friday, when asked if the United States has any plans to take a more proactive role in evacuating the US citizens who are still on the ground in Yemen.
Harf also noted that Washington is not asking other countries for assistance to evacuate US citizens.
“I have not heard that we are considering proactive y asking other countries for help,” she said.

The State Department spokesperson stressed the United States has been warning US citizens for a decade not travel to Yemen.
“If they do, the United States can provide only limited assistance especially now given that the embassy is closed,” she added.
Harf explained that given the situation in Yemen now is “dangerous and unpredictable,” doing something like sending in military assets even for an evacuation could put US citizens lives at greater risk.
“We are continuing to evaluate the security situation and we are continuing to look at what the options are, but at this point no change in plans,” she said.
Washington is aware of the reports that a US citizen was killed in Yemen on March 31, she added, and is working to verify the information.
On Friday night, Russia evacuated 311 people on two passenger jets from Yemen’s capital Sanaa to Moscow. The evacuated included 152 Russians as well as citizens of Poland, Ukraine and Belarus, among other countries.
India Begins Evacuation of Citizens From Yemen by Air
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement on Friday that a Chinese warship evacuated 225 foreign nationals from the Yemeni port city of Aden on Thursday, including 176 citizens from Pakistan, 29 from Ethiopia and others from Singapore, Italy, Germany, Poland and Ireland.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesman announced on Friday that India began evacuating its citizens from Sanaa by air.
Yemen is currently the scene of armed clashes as Houthi forces continue to overrun areas controlled by troops loyal to displaced President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who fled the country amid the escalating violence.
On March 26, a Saudi Arabian-led coalition began carrying out airstrikes against Houthi positions in Yemen in response to a request by Hadi.
