UAE Urges its Citizens to Leave Syria
The United Arab Emirates has called on its citizens in Syria to exercise caution and avoid the areas that witness frequent anti-regime protests.
Isa Abdullah al-Kalbani, director of Citizens' Affairs at the UAE Foreign Ministry, called on citizens to leave Syria and reconsider travel to the country, reported the Emirates News Agency WAM on Friday.
Syria has been witnessing unprecedented anti-regime protests since March.
The Syrian regime has retaliated by launching a bloody crackdown against the demonstrators, which the United Nations estimates has left more than 3,500 dead.
