| 2016-09-01 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The UN special envoy to Yemen ...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... is warning that the dangerous military escalation following a breakdown in the cease-fire between government supporters and Iranian catspaws is fueling the spread of al-Qaeda and the 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.... murderous Moslem group. Ismael Ould Cheikh Ahmed told the UN Security Council on Wednesday that the two myrmidon groups "continue to wreak havoc in significant parts of Yemen." He pointed to Monday’s suicide kaboom by ISIS in the southern city of Aden. While the Yemeni army’s growing ability to confront murderous Moslem groups is encouraging, Cheikh Ahmed said "the absence of the state in many parts of Yemen, in addition to the chaos created by war, will continue to facilitate the expansion of these terrorist groups which represents a real threat to the region." |
