SANA'A, Nov. 07 (Saba) – Yemen is spending a large portion of the funds allocated for development on the fight against terrorism and piracy and providing needs of about a million African refugees, Deputy Minister for Planning and International Cooperation Hisham Sharaf said on Saturday.

Though these problems are aggravating and overshadowing the situation in Yemen, the international support to Yemen remains insufficient, he said.

"The international community should support Yemen financially, technically and militarily to be a capable force against terrorism under the current circumstances."

Yemen is for a region free from problems and is determined to root out terrorists and overcome all security and economic challenges, he said.
