Just as you have your tie, the Yemeni will carry his gun Ahmed al-Kibsi, professor They dance in circles to the beat of drums, all brandishing the curved daggers Yemeni men wear around their waists. Many are also carrying AK-47 assault rifles, hunting rifles and pistols. They proudly display the firearms, holding them above their heads and firing bursts in the air. Yemenis like guns because they consider them to be symbols of their tradition, a part of their mentality and culture Mohammed, arms owner Yemen's interior ministry estimates there are about 60 million firearms in Yemen, or about three for every citizen.

Yemenis are divided into two principal Islamic religious groups: the Shia Zaidi sect, found in the north and northwest, and the Shafa'i school of Sunni Muslims, found in the south and southeast. Yemenis are mainly of Semitic origin, although African strains are present among inhabitants of the coastal region. Arabic is the official language, although English is increasingly understood in major cities. In the Mahra area (the extreme east), several non-Arabic languages are spoken. When the former states of north and south Yemen were established, most resident minority groups departed. This category needs an editor - apply here Open Site Code 0.5.3

Society and Culture : History Overview Yemen was one of the oldest centers of civilization in the Near East. Between the 12th century BC and the 6th century AD, it was part of the Minaean, Sabaean, and Himyarite kingdoms, which controlled the lucrative spice trade, and later came under Ethiopian and Persian rule. In the 7th century, Islamic caliphs began to exert control over the area. After this caliphate broke up, the former north Yemen came under control of Imams of various dynasties usually of the Zaidi sect, who established a theocratic political structure that survived until modern times. (Imam is a religious term. The Shi’ites apply it to the prophet Muhammad's son-in-law Ali, his sons Hassan and Hussein, and subsequent lineal descendants, whom they consider to have been divinely ordained unclassified successors of the prophet.) Egyptian Sunni caliphs occupied much of north Yemen throughout the 11th century. By the 16th century and again in the 19th century, north Yemen was part of the Ottoman Empire, and in some periods its Imams exerted control over south Yemen.
