Yemen ... another country in the throes of civil war ...

just like Libya (with additional mayhem wrought on the Libyans  by NATO) and Syria.

The Al Arabiya, which is a Saudi mouthpiece reports that : Tribesmen loyal to a powerful opposition chief have seized public buildings in Sana’a including state news agency Saba, sources said Wednesday, amid raging gunbattles with Yemen’s security forces that have killed 44 people.

The tribesmen have also occupied the national airline Yemenia building and have tried to storm the interior ministry headquarters, according to the witnesses and a high-ranking Yemen official......
