SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
Around 500 stranded Pakistanis have been evacuated from Yemen. With the initiation of the air strikes, the expatriates are facing hardships in reaching airports. There is a need to ensure the safe return of each and every Pakistani from the war zone. Any casualties due to attacks from the belligerents would have negative impact on the government’s standing.
Both the Foreign Office and PIA deserve credit and a round of applause for a tough task executed well. More specifically, the Pakistani ambassador in Sanaa, and the entire embassy team there, did a heroic job arranging a large bus convoy to transport all the Pakistanis there to safety, overcoming great dangers along the way. The fact that the plane made it there, and successfully lifted all Pakistani citizens out of danger and brought them safely back to their country, was an enormous job. It’s been gratifying to see our institutions, PIA, the Foreign Office, the CAA and the Ministry of Defence, all working together and coordinating to ensure that this vitally important mission succeeds.
All these institutions deserve the due credit for their efforts to bring Pakistan back to country safely. It is movement of pride for entire country that Pakistani government is concerned about its citizens. This step will not only made Government but CAA,PIA and Defence ministry’s image better before the people of Pakistan.
