Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... gunnies who control much of the country including the capital. "The Yemeni government confirms that we're always ready for and committed to peace," front man Rajeh Badi told Rooters from the Saudi capital Riyadh. "We value the role of the United Nations and thank its special envoy to Yemen, who has exerted great efforts toward achieving a peaceful resolution," he said, adding that his government would respond to the call within 48 hours. There was no immediate response to the call from the Houthis, a predominantly Shi'ite group allied to Iran and backed by forces loyal to veteran former president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ...

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.
