| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] 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... 's Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman said there has been "significant progress" in talks between the warring sides of the year-long Yemeni conflict and a resolution will be reached soon. "There is significant progress in negotiations, and we have good contacts with the Houthis, with a delegation currently in Riyadh," said Prince Mohammed, who is also the kingdom’s defense minister, in an interview with Bloomberg. "We are pushing to have this opportunity materialize on the ground but if things relapse, we are ready." Prince Mohammed conducted an interview with Bloomberg last week in which he announced plans to dedicate a $2 trillion budget for a a post-oil Saudi economy. His statements on the ongoing Yemeni war were published on Sunday. In March 2015, Saudi Arabia led a coalition to intervene via ...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 support of its legitimate government after Iran-backed 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... militias seized much of Yemen. |
