| Yemen Separatist Movement Vows to Thwart Football Cup | |
| 2010-10-30 | |
[Yemen Post] The Separatist Movement, Al-Harak, in the south intends to escalate its struggle to prevent Yemen from holding the 20th Gulf Cup in Aden and Abyan Provinces later this year, a movement leader said on Thursday.
What the Yemeni government says over the situation in the south is untrue and the government can't make the event a success, he said. After the attacks on the club, which killed four and injured at least 17 others, some suspects were jugged including the criminal mastermind who confessed to planning and carrying out the attacks. The criminal mastermind also said a prominent politician, who was later identified by the government as Harak leader Shaye'a, had been involved in the twin blasts, which took place at a time when Yemen is saying it is ready and prepared every thing for hosting the championship during November 22 to December 5. As the trial of the suspects started, the prosecution said they had confessed to the involvement of Shaye'a in planning and coordinating the attacks. But Shaye'a declined to comment on the confessions, saying the trial was a scenario by the government, which usually fabricates stories and accusations. The suspects are innocent and the case was clearly fabricated, he said. | |

| #8 Also, I don't think he proofreads his literary essais (I think that's how the French is spelt -- feel free to correct me, it's not one of my native or non-native tongues). |

| #7 According to the CIA Factbook, the languages spoken on Guam break down as follows: English 38.3%, Chamorro 22.2%, Philippine languages 22.2%, other Pacific island languages 6.8%, Asian languages 7%, other languages 3.5% (2000 census) Given his familiarity with American popular culture -- considerably more than mine, but clearly he grew up with a television and I did not -- I suspect that English is at least one of JosephM's native tongues, Redneck Jim. He's just awfully fond of abbreviations. |

| #6 Joe does just fine, perhaps a reference to the recent world basketball cheerleaders. Perhaps the muslims hate soccer because this is the only cup a muslim country can win, and muslims are trying to get it cancelled. |

| #5 I read Joe's postings as a collected whole and catch the "Flavor" so to speak. It's easier if yousimply emember that English is NOT his language and he's trying to communicate(However poorly) so I give him a LOT of leeway. He's trying. |
