The source expressed surprise atthe fabricators' attribution of the two state-owned buildings to the Yemeni community in Ethiopia. It said:"The party behind these rumorsattributed the ownership of the buildings to the community, which arouses surprise and casts doubts about the intentions of those who stand behind these rumors."

"The assets and properties of Yemen abroad are well preserved and the ministry's leadership will never allow the sale of them."

The source called on the news websites to verify the authenticity of their stories before circulating them.
