| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Shells fired by Yemen's dominant 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 killed 18 people near the southern port city of Aden early on Wednesday, local officials and witnesses said, while the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... warned a dengue fever outbreak in Aden was rapidly gaining pace. Yemen, which has long struggled with poverty and hunger, has descended into a fullblown humanitarian crisis since a war erupted between the Houthis and allies of the exiled President Abed Rabbou Mansour Hadi, drawing in neighboring 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 United Nations said in a report Tuesday that an average of 150 new cases of dengue fever and around 11 deaths were being reported daily. The northern Houthi fighters, who have seized large parts of 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 recent months, advanced towards Aden in March, prompting Hadi, who had taken refuge there, to flee to Saudi Arabia. Since then Aden has been host to almost daily festivities between the Houthis and local resistance fighters allied with Hadi. Thousands have been killed or maimed. Residents of Aden's Mansoura district said mortar shells apparently fired indiscriminately by Houthis stationed in a field to the north, killed seven people sheltering at a hotel and 11 more at a market. They said one resident in his 30s, Atef al-Somali, was killed while trying to buy food for suhoor - a meal Moslems eat early in the morning before they resume their dawn-to-dusk fast during the holy month of Ramadan. At least 30 other people were maimed in the attack, local officials said. Houthi officials were not immediately available to comment on the report. Aden, a city of more than 1 million people, is facing shortages of food, fuel and medical supplies. The United Nations, in a report Tuesday, quoted Aden health officials as saying that 8,000 people had contracted dengue fever in Aden since the crisis began in March. The report also said that 590 have died from the disease, five times what was reported two weeks ago. Dengue fever outbreaks had also been reported in eastern Hadramout ...the formerly independent Qu'aiti state and sultanate, annexed by Communist South Yemen in 1968, encompassing a region along the Gulf of Aden, extending eastwards to the borders of the Dhofar region of Oman. The people are called Hadhramis and speak Hadhrami Arabic. The city Tarimis is estimated to contain the highest concentration of descendants of the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI) anywhere in the world, approximately seven in every square yard... and western Hudaydah. |

| #1 The United Nations said in a report Tuesday that an average of 150 new cases of dengue fever and around 11 deaths were being reported daily. Jeez, that's a high mortality rate. Even Dengue Hemorraghic Fever normally has a mortality rate around 2%. |
