| 2015-05-25 |
| [AnNahar] A boat carrying 460 tons of Emirati relief aid docked Sunday in Yemen's restive port city of Aden, as Saudi-led air raids against Iranian catspaws continued across the country. The shipment, including medical and food supplies, is the second from the United Arab Emirates, which delivered last week 1,200 tons of relief aid, said local aid coordinator Ali al-Bikri. Another ship carrying 400 tonnes of diesel also arrived on Friday, said Bikri, who was appointed by Yemen's government-in-exile. The southern city, where President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi took refuge until he fled 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... , received nothing beyond those shipments by the Emirati Red Islamic Thingy, he said. Aden has been scene to fierce fights between Iranian catspaws backed by troops loyal to former president 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... and southern fighters allied with exiled Hadi. Clashes continued Sunday in Aden, witnesses said, after they had raged Saturday in the north, east and west of the city. Two pro-Hadi fighters and six Huthi murderous Moslems were killed in the shootouts, according to a military source. Air raids targeted Sunday positions of the pro-Saleh elite Republican Guard in the central province of Taez, as well as rebel posts in Raymah province, west of Sanaa, witnesses said. The Saudi-led coalition launched the air campaign against the Huthis on March 26 after the rebels seized the capital and advanced on Aden, forcing Hadi to flee to Riyadh. The United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... , which plans to hold a conference on 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. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... in Geneva next week, says the violence has killed more than 1,600 people and displaced close to half a million more. Some aid has trickled during a five-day humanitarian truce ..The purposes of a truce are twofold: 1.) bring up more arms, ammunition, and reinforcements; and 2.) get the enemy to relax his vigilance. A truceis not the same thing as a ceasefire, and a ceasefiredoesn't mean you have to stop shooting... , but residents of areas where festivities persisted complained that they lack the most basic supplies. |
