E.O. 12958: DECL: 05/01/2015 
TAGS: AMGT ASEC PREL PTER EAC
SUBJECT: EXPIRATION OF AUTHORIZED DEPARTURE FOR AMERICAN 
EMBASSY SANAA 
 
REF: A. SANAA 955 
     ¶B. SANAA 881 
     ¶C. SANAA 896 
 
Classified By: CDA Nabeel Khoury, for reasons 1.4 (b) (c) and 
(d). 
 
¶1.  (U)  This is an action request; see para 6. 
 
¶2.  (SBU) Based on the recommendations of the Emergency 
Action Committee (EAC), Ambassador requests that the 
Department not extend Authorized Departure beyond the current 
expiration date. 
 
¶3.  (SBU) The EAC unanimously agreed that Post's security 
situation is reflective of Reverse Trip Wires, as reported in 
REFTEL A.  Therefore, EAC members unanimously agree that the 
security situation, particularly in reference to the specific 
threat that instigated our request for AD, has improved to 
the extent necessary to support an EAC recommendation that 
Authorized Departure end. 
 
¶4.  (S/NF) A delineation of the EAC findings includes: 
 
¶A.  No new credible, specific non-counterable threats: 
Kanaan, the terrorist who was the source of the specific 
threat that led to Post's request for Authorized Departure 
(Ref B), has now been captured along with several of his 
colleagues.  There is no new information that post knows 
of that poses a credible specific threat at this time. 
 
¶B.  EAC, applauding responsiveness of ROYG security apparatus 
to Embassy needs, feels that ROYG has and is deploying 
sufficient resources to adequately protect American personnel 
and assets in Yemen. 
 
¶C.  EAC concurs with RSO and MOI that travel in Yemen, with 
sufficient coordination through the RSO, can meet reasonable 
security standards for USG essential and non-essential travel. 
 
¶D.  EAC members agree that acts of violence resulting from 
the spillover related to Saada fighting do not pose a 
significant risk to Americans at this time or for the 
foreseeable future that would be mitigated by continuation of 
Authorized Departure. 
 
¶5.  (SBU)  The EAC recognizes the need for continued 
vigilance regarding security policies and practices that 
protect lives in Yemen's critical security threat.  To that 
end, the EAC will recommend to USG personnel and to the 
broader American community, via a new Wardens message, that 
they remain vigilant, exercise caution in traveling 
throughout Yemen and continue to vary routes and routines in 
their home-to-office movements. 
 
¶6.  (U)  Embassy requests approval/guidance from the 
Department on this matter.
