In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirateafter seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... " province. Yemeni forces and a Saudi-led coalition, including the UAE, have this week been fighting to clear Al Qaeda gunnies from the major cities of Abyan which neighbours Aden to the north-east. Extremist groups have taken advantage of Yemen’s civil war to try and seize territory. The mostly Arab coalition entered the conflict in March 2015 to support the internationally recognised president after he was driven from the capital, Sanaa, by 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.

Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... rebels and their allies. Posted by: Fred 2016-08-16 |
