Looks like its getting really entertaining there. ---2,000 anti-gov't tribesmen have just entered Sanaa. One thing I noticed is that they have an actual tribal society as opposed to Somalia where tribe is just an identity marker, they actually revere their tribal leaders, so this could end up being a damn good show.
A bunch of Yemeni-Somalis are returning home. Word on the street is they're complaining about Yemeni tribes more than they complained about Somali clans back in the day. Don't worry, Bosaso will monitor Somalia's seas against illegal immigration.
Monk there is nothing to discuss. Yemen doesnt have any future.
Tribal society
90% population khat addict
No water in a few years
Tiny oil reserve
Population 20 million+
What WE need to do is
Close down the borders from the sea side
Put heavy milita as guards
No arab immigration allowed
No owning of land in Somalia to arabs (if they migrate and its legal) Because they will use the groundwater we have for their khat consumtion like they did in yemen.
And last but not least
Take back socotra and station 100k puntland soldiers (this will happen when peace settles in Somalia)
Establish a military base in Socotra. If the international community reacts. Simply refer to the territory boundaries socotra falls within AND that we are training future Somali navy so that we can eradicate pirates and help the international community have safe trading routes for their growing economies.

you would think that Somalia had a government or something who could actually do any of this
AL qaeda (AQP) Seizes another major town in Southwestern Yemen
SANAA, June 1 (Xinhua) -- Al-Qaida's regional branch in Yemen took control over another large city in Yemen's southeastern province of Shabwa on Wednesday, a week after they controlled the southern Abyan province, local officials and residents said.
"Following fierce battles with government forces, fighters of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) managed to seize the whole city of Azzan in the southeast province of Shabwa on Wednesday, announcing that the city of Azzan joins in their Islamic emirate," one local official told Xinhua.
Some tribal leaders and residents confirmed the news in phone conversations with Xinhua.
The tribal leaders said the AQAP militants were enjoying high- level activities nowadays because of the weak presence of security forces, which were pulled out to major cities to curb the four- month-long anti-government protests as well as to secure the government and foreign interests from sporadic riot acts.
Shabwa, some 458 km southeast to the capital Sanaa, is believed to be a stronghold of hundreds of al-Qaida militants, including the wanted U.S.-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
In the escalating unrest in Abyan, the gunmen of AQAP also took over Wadhiee district on Wednesday, which is the ancestral homeland of Vice President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, another local official and residents said.
The AQAP declared Saturday to seize Zinjibar, the provincial capital city of Abyan which is located about 480 km south of Sanaa, as the capital of their newly-established Taliban-style Islamic emirate.
Meanwhile, a provincial government official in Shabwa told Xinhua that the governor of Shabwa held a meeting with tribal chieftains and dignitaries on Wednesday, during which they signed an agreement for forming armed popular committees to defend and protect the government facilities and residential neighborhoods.
