The Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights activist Tawakkol Karman has revealed that Americans expressed their fear of the peaceful popular youth revolution that toppled the regime of Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Tawakkol Karman, on her official Facebook page, wrote to say: “After global media paid attention to the revolution and began to take it seriously, I was invited by the American embassy in Sanaa. I met the ambassador and his deputy, and the meeting took time. It was an intense discussion, as the American side was afraid of the revolutionary demonstrations that I was calling for and participating in along with my comrades. Americans were not fine with them. It is true that they were supporting human rights activists, but not to the point of toppling the regime of Ali Abdullah Saleh."

Mrs. Karman noted that the US embassy informed her that she will bear full responsibility and consequences, adding that her response was that revolutionaries would never go home until they overthrow the failed, corrupt and tyrannical regime because time was up and the regime lost all justifications to continue.
