| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Saudi-led ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... late on Saturday, the Houthi-run Saba news agency reported. The dead included five women and two children in attacks on Saada and Marib provinces, the agency said. A Saudi-led Arab coalition has been bombarding Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... rebels and allied army units since March 26 in a campaign to restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power. Hadi, Ryadh's ally, was pushed aside last year when Houthis advancing from their northern strongholds overran the government in the capital Sanaa and went on to capture lands to the south. The Houthis are allied to former president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ...

More than 2,800 people have been killed since March 26. The United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... says more than 21 million people, or 80 percent of the population, are now estimated to be in need of some form of humanitarian aid, or protection, or both. A series of coordinated bombings claimed by Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... has adding another layer to the conflict. In the latest, Islamic State said it was behind a boom-mobile that went kaboom!in Yemen's capital Sanaa on Saturday near the Qiba al-Mahdi mosque, killing two people and wounding six. |
