| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemen's government will attend U.N.-sponsored talks with the Houthis and supporters of deposed leader 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... , a government spokesperson said on Sunday, in a fresh bid to end months of fighting that has killed more than 5,000 people. "The decision has been taken to attend (the talks) and a letter will be sent to the U.N. secretary-general (about that)," Rajeh Badi, the government front man, told Rooters. U.N. special envoy to 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... Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed has been in 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... for discussions with Yemeni President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi and other senior Yemeni officials over the talks. A previous round of U.N.-sponsored talks in Geneva between the Yemeni government and the Houthis in June failed to achieve a breakthrough. |
