| [Iran Press TV] Saudi border guards have reportedly clashed with Yemeni rustics in Yemen's northwestern province of Sa'ada. According to a report published on the Arabic-language news website, Yemen Now, the festivities broke out on Tuesday in Munbeh region of the province as Saudi guards sought to install checkpoints on the Yemeni side of the border. There were no immediate reports of casualties. Local Yemeni sources have expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... that the festivities might be an excuse by Saudis to open a new war front against Yemen's Shia Ansarullah movement. The movement has been at odds with Riyadh, which has been in control of the Yemeni provinces of Asir, Najran and Jizan since the 1930s. The Saudi army also backed the Yemeni government's crackdown on 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 Americaâ¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... fighters back in 2009 under ousted dictator, President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... Ansarullah has been also accusing Riyadh of interfering in Yemen's internal affairs. Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... is building a giant border fence to seal off its troubled frontier with Yemen. |
