The Yemenites want to Leave

B"H

For the past years, life for the few Jews remaining in Yemen (Te'iman) hasn't been easy. The top of the iceberg was the murder of their Rabbi Moshe Yaish Nahari. He was shot by radical Muslims and since then, life has been unbearable. Even while shopping at the local market, the Yemenite Jews are forced to hide their identity.

Now they announced that they want to leave Yemen, as the local government doesn't do / or cannot do enough for their safety. A final destination hasn't been announced but I assume that those Jews are going to make Aliyah to Israel.
