Yemin

Yes, it is as suspected ratcheting up daily.

It is being reported the Houtis have taken over the Presidential Palace and Aden is in a mess as you say.

I still believe that the lack of interest is astounding given the potential damage to the world economy , let alone the loss of life which is sadly taking place.

What a world .

Dreadful things happening in Aden today.

A quote from a facebook contact one hour ago....

"Crater is burning today people are dying in the streets with heavy bombardment right now"

When you read messages from people in terrible danger asking for prayers, it's heartbreaking.

A tinder box indeed! Yemin, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran, good grief!

DS has been worrying away about the Yemen for over a year now. He's been watching illicit broadcasts from there on his computer. When I ask what's going on, he says it changes every five minutes. I'm amazed they have the energy.

I agree POGS, a tinderbox if ever there was one, somewhat under reported. very worrying has the potential to draw in all sorts of different factions, rather depressing that we have to side with Saudi in this, never quite sure whether they covertly support ISIS or not.

That's really frightening reading, I wasn't aware of this at all. Thank you merlotgran
It seems like hotspots are bubbling up in a number of countries.

Watching it closely because we are in contact with friends from the past in Aden on facebook.

There should be more news reports on what's happening out there. I'd never heard of the Houthis before now.
