They are from the south but from the mountainous part, 2500m above sea level, and I agree with pretty much all you say. Although it is a very beautiful place with friendly, hospitable people. Its so corrupt and messed up I am happy to never go back there. Everyone and I mean everyone walks around with a machine gun. Even when shopping. I was born in the UK and thats all right with me. When I was there people kept whispering to me how much they wished the British were still there but I felt a definite dislike towards Americans. When I came back to UK I told some friends that it felt like the Muslim world was angry. One week later 9/11. The rest is history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111395980737563171.post-66549984972771177062011-06-24T03:13:46.160-07:002011-06-24T03:13:46.160-07:00hi WT

Yemen is being totted by some as a choke point for sea / oil routes for china, hence it is of some strategic interest <br />2.
