| 2015-02-13 |
| The Saudi Foreign Ministry announced Friday the suspension of all operations in its embassy in Yemen due to security fears, the official Saudi Press Agency reported. The embassy staff were asked to leave the country and return to 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... , the ministry said, adding that the decision was made as the security and political situations in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa have been deteriorating. Security situation has tanked in Yemen since January when the Shiite 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 America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... group seized the presidential palace in Sanaa after deadly festivities with presidential guards. On Feb. 6, the Houthi group announced a unilateral move to dissolve the parliament and form a presidential council to take over power after Yemeni president and prime minister resigned, which was rejected by Yemen's political parties and denounced by the Gulf Arab states. The political impasse in Yemen also promoted the United States, Britannia, La Belle France, Italia and Germany to withdraw their diplomatic staff in Sanaa, citing the security situation. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... the Houthi group said recently that Western powers had no reason to shut their embassies, insisting the security was solid in Sanaa. |
