#1 Doesn't want to be there when the Kingdom falls and the resulting hammer is levied against the jihadis who're controlling Yemen. ??

#2 I have no doubt there is indeed discrimination -- "educated" city sophisticates vs. country rubes, on top of all that loyalty to tribe/clan/family stuff. Not to mention the habit of kat chewing, with its resulting mildly drugged, unproductive, green-drooling menfolk (yuck). Oh, and all of Yemen stepped off the cliff when the Yeminite Jews were rescued by Israel. It's difficult for a society when its most productive, most abused members just disappear "on the wings of eagles." All that remains is the 1000-year old habit of abuse, with no target... and no one else to steal from.

#3 But classic discrimination shouldn't be enough to get the gentleman asylum in GB. Until he reared up on his hind legs, there shouldn't have been reason for him to be more concerned about his safety than usual... unless he is about to become the fall guy for the attack on the USS Cole. I only say because the article identifies as Commander of the Yemeni Navy at that time.
