H.E. Mr. Omer Hussein Thabet SABA’A, Ambassador of the Republic of Yemen to the Czech Republic, passed away at the end of 2024. He was the Ambassador of the Republic of Yemen from 2017.
Read a few words in his memory written by H.E. Mr. Abdullah Muteb A. ALRASHEED, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:
H.E. Mr. Omer Hussein Thabet SABA’A, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Czech Republic, passed away on December 29, 2024 in Prague. The news paralysed the Diplomatic Corps and everybody who knew him like a flash of lightning…
Ambassador Saba’a touched lives of many people. He presented his credentials in the Czech Republic on January 11, 2017 and, since then, he worked with devotion for his country. He was not only a diplomat by profession but also a mentor to younger colleagues – diplomats and non-diplomats. The informal monthly “diplomatic social gatherings” which he co-organized with his colleagues from the Yemen Embassy, will be most remembered by many. I personally will especially remember Ambassador Saba’a as my close friend with whom I shared many lovely times engaged in cordial talks, with whom I shared many common views on the Middle East issues ……
He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and the diplomatic community in Prague.
Abdullah M. Alrasheed
Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
