Yemen is the most dangerous country in teh world even before the events that toppled salah. I lived there and know this first hand. The people are very primitive and hold arms on the streets and in buses and taxis.

True. I was there in 2007-2008. The country is gorgeous but the people , well Huthi rebels in the north, al-Qaida plus Haraq ( Southern separatists ) in the South very dangerous indeed. Best stay out of this country. In some 5 years when oil dries up they will have full blown "Somalia" I feel for the Saudis and Omanis already.
