Yemen 4

Well after getting through the politics other drivers of this nightmare emerge. The population is out of control and they are running out of water, whilst diverting alot of agriculture to growning qat a leaf drug. With a highly tribal society this seems very hard to speak sense to any one coherent group. I absolutely like the sport of camel jumping, partly as it allows women as much as men to jump over as many camels as they can. As a camel, as long as you weren't the last camel and hit by incompetent jumpers it would not be all that bad as a sport. Dropping the legal marriage age to 9 is a bit of a problem for me. Yemen did host the university on the Red sea that was the home to algebra which is a contrasting gift to the world. Saudi Arabia has built a wall to keep the Yemeni out and this is amazing given the walls in the US, and Israel.

Also included in this Post is the Yemeni national anthem. I like its use of the idea that it echos and repeats, then I am left wondering as it refers to Martrys and defeating any foreign intervention.
