| [Al Jazeera] An initial agreement between 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... 's southern separatists and the internationally backed government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, designed to end a power struggle in the country's south, would see the separatists included in a new cabinet, according to a draft of the deal obtained by Al Jazeera. The Saudi-brokered deal includes arrangements for a system of power that involves both Hadi's government and the Southern Transitional Council (STC), whose forces have been at loggerheads in Aden for months. The draft agreement, expected to be announced in the coming days, followed weeks of negotiations hosted by 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... Yemen's Information Minister Muammar Eryani said on Saturday that the agreement would be signed within two days.
