US Insults
The well-known Yemeni businessman, Hajj Mohammed Ahmed Jumaan has complained to the Foreign Ministry of the insulting behavior of the consul at the US Embassy. He demands an apology.
Jumaan had previously applied to enter the US for medical treatment. The visa officer treated him badly, and threw his application papers and medical reports into the waste basket. If this how the US Embassy treats our businessmen, how does is treat ordinary Yemeni citizens?
