I've been thinking about you today Mo (nothing lewd, I swear). Is everything still pretty calm there for you?
I read today that the French and British embassies in Yemen have been evacuated now too.
I get that there's a security threat, but it's kind of concerning that the US now has no diplomatic presence in Libya, Somalia, Syria or Yemen. The lack of intel and local presence in Syria really put us at a disadvantage in dealing with IS in Syria.
Strange days...
