The official said: "it is regrettable that such clerics rush to announce their position uncritically and that they became an easy victim of baseless reports mainly promoted by terrorists and separatists who are seeking to harm the national unity and stability of Yemen."They should be an example in their talk, acts and wisdom and they should also avoid being affected by rumors and lies, the official said, urging all Yemeni people and organizations to contribute to making the championship a success.Yemen hosts the every-two-year championship through November 22 to December 05 in its port cities of Aden and Abyan. Its team and the teams of Iraq and GCC member states will play the matches
