MARIB, Yemen - Ma ka ʻāina ʻo Marib o Yemen, ke kapikala o ke aupuni moʻolelo o ka Mōʻīwahine o Sheba, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka poʻe hahai o Al-Qaeda ma mua o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i kēia mau lā.

ʻO ke ala e hoʻopili ana i ke kapikala ʻo Sanaa me Marib 170-kilomita (ma kahi o 105 mau mile) i ka hikina, he 17 mau pūʻali koa a me nā mākaʻi mākaʻi, e hōʻike ana i ke kūlana weliweli o ka palekana ma ka ʻāina ʻilihune ʻo Arabian peninsula.

ʻO ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana o ka hoʻouka ʻana e kahi franchise Al-Qaeda kūloko hou a me ka pilikia o ka ʻaihue ʻia e nā ʻohana kūloko e hoʻāʻo nei e ʻae i nā ʻae mai ke aupuni, ua koi aku i nā poʻe Komohana e makemake ana e huakaʻi ma waho o Sanaa e kiʻi i nā ʻae - a me kahi pūʻali koa palekana.

Ua piʻi aʻe ka hopohopo ma ke kapikala, ma hope o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻia ʻana o ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka mahina ʻo Kepakemapa i hala e ka hoʻouka kaua pālua kaʻa i ʻōlelo ʻia e Al-Qaeda i pepehi i nā kānaka he 19, me nā mea hoʻouka kaua ʻehiku.

Ua hūnā ʻia kekahi mau ʻelele o ke Komohana ma hope o ʻelima mau mika-kiʻekiʻe (16-kapuaʻi) pā pahū, a ua ʻōlelo kekahi poʻe diplomats ua manaʻo lākou aia ke komo ʻana o nā "terrorists" ma Yemen.

I Ianuali ua hoʻolaha ka lālā Al-Qaeda kūloko i kahi leka wikiō i kau ʻia ma ka Pūnaewele i ka hoʻohui ʻana o nā lālā Saudi a me Yemeni i "Al-Qaeda i ka Arabian Peninsula," alakaʻi ʻia e Yemeni Nasser al-Wahaishi.

Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe loea i ka hoʻohiki ʻana o nā pūʻali koa Saudi i ka lālā Yemeni e hōʻoia ana ua hoʻopau ʻia ka ʻāpana Saudi.

Ua hoʻoneʻe kekahi mau ʻoihana a me nā ʻoihana o Yemen i nā limahana a me ko lākou ʻohana ma waho o ka ʻāina ma hope o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana i ʻōlelo ʻia e ka lālā Al-Qaeda kūloko.

I Ianuali 2008 ua pana ʻia ʻelua mau mākaʻikaʻi Belgian me ko lākou alakaʻi kūloko a me ka mea hoʻokele ma ka hikina o Yemen. ʻElua mahina ma hope mai, ʻo ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ka pahuhopu o ke ahi pahū i hala a pā i kahi kula, a make ʻelua mau kānaka.

I loko o ʻApelila 2008, ua paʻi ʻia kahi paʻakikī o nā villa i noho ʻia e nā poʻe loea ʻaila US ma Sanaa e nā pōhaku, a ma ia mahina hoʻi i hoʻouka ʻia ai ka ʻelele Italia. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia i kahi wahi i ʻike ʻole ʻia.

ʻO ʻApelila i hala aku nei, ua hoʻoholo ka hui aila Farani Total, i komo i ka ʻaila a me nā hana kinoea wai ma Yemen, e hoʻihoʻi i nā ʻohana o kāna mau limahana.

A i ka mahina o Iulai, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Paris i ka pani ʻana o ke kula Farani ma Sanaa a haʻi aku i nā ʻohana o nā limahana aupuni Farani e haʻalele i mea e mālama ai.

"He hōʻiliʻili ia o nā mea," wahi a Joel Fort, Luna Nui o Yemen LNG, a ʻo Total ka mea kuleana alakaʻi.

Manaʻo ka poʻe loea ua loaʻa iā Al-Qaeda kahi ola ʻelua ma Yemen - home kupuna o ka mea hoʻokumu o ka hui ʻo Osama bin Laden - ma hope o ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana ma Saudi Arabia.

"Ke kuhikuhi nei nā hōʻailona āpau i kēlā ʻaoʻao," wahi a kekahi diplomat i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Sanaa, e like me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i nīnau ʻia e AFP, i noi ʻole e ʻike ʻia.

Ua ʻōlelo kekahi diplomat: "Aneane maopopo loa aia ka nui o nā mea hoʻoweliweli ma Yemen. ʻO ka poʻe hoʻoweliweli i kipaku ʻia mai Afghanistan a i ʻole nā ​​​​wahi ʻē aʻe e hilinaʻi ma ʻaneʻi a loaʻa, inā ʻaʻole kahi kapu, ma kahi o kahi e peʻe ai. "

He wahi hūnā maikaʻi ʻo Yemen no ka poʻe hoʻoweliweli, ʻoluʻolu o nā ʻāina mauna puʻupuʻu e uhi ana i nā ʻāpana nui o ka ʻāina a me ka hiki ʻole o ke aupuni ke hoʻomalu i nā ʻāina ākea ma ka hikina.

Manaʻo nā luna e hiki ke peʻe nā pūʻali koa Al-Qaeda ma nā panalāʻau ma ka hikina o Sanaa, e like me Al-Jawf, Marib, Shabwa, Ataq a me Hadramawt.

I Pepeluali, ua kipa aku ʻo Pelekikena Ali Abdullah Saleh iā Marib e koi aku i nā ʻohana e kākoʻo ʻole iā Al-Qaeda, ma kahi huakaʻi e hōʻike ana i nā hopohopo o ke aupuni.

Eia naʻe, manaʻo kekahi poʻe Komohana ua kūpaʻa ke kūlana mai ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Kepakemapa i ka ʻelele US.

"I nā mahina i hala iho nei, ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa ke kūlana, akā ua hoʻomau ʻia," wahi a ka luna o Yemen LNG Fort.

Ua ʻae kekahi diplomat ma Sanaa.

"Ke papa inoa nei kekahi iā Kabul, Baghdad a me Sanaa i ka māhele like. Akā ʻaʻole mākou i laila. Pono ʻoe i kahi ala kūpono, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia.

He liʻiliʻi ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e kipa aku i Yemen, ʻoi aku ka nāwaliwali o ka lawe ʻia ʻana o nā poʻe Komohana e nā ʻohana ikaika a laila hoʻohana iā lākou e like me nā ʻāpana kūʻai aku me nā luna ma mua o ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana o ka "weliweli".

Hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka poʻe i ʻaihue ʻia me ka pōʻino ʻole.

ʻO ka mākaʻikaʻi Italia ʻo Pio Fausto Tomada, 60, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea liʻiliʻi e kipa aku iā Yemen.

"ʻAʻole loa au i makaʻu," wahi āna me ka ʻakaʻaka, ʻoiai ʻo ia e kali ana ma nā ʻanuʻu o kahi hōkele ʻo Sanaa e hui pū me kahi hui o nā mākaʻikaʻi Italia kahiko ma kahi huakaʻi ma lalo o ka pale koʻikoʻi.

Ma Marib kakaikahi ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi mai ka wā i hoʻouka ʻia ai ka pōkā kaʻa i Iulai 2007 i make ʻewalu mau mea hoʻomaha Spanish a me ʻelua mau mea hoʻokele Yemeni.

Ua hana ʻia ka hoʻouka kaua ma ka puka komo o Mahram Bilqis, kahi luakini oval kahiko i ʻōlelo ʻia no ka Mōʻīwahine Baibala o Seba.

Ua hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi ʻo Ali Ahmad Musallah, he kiaʻi ma ka pūnaewele no nā makahiki he 12 i hala iho nei i loaʻa kahi liʻiliʻi 20,000 Yemeni Riyals (100 dollars) i kēlā me kēia mahina, i ka hoʻouka kaua 2007 i ʻōlelo ai ua ʻeha kekahi o kāna mau keiki.

"Ma mua o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana, ʻo ia ka wahi mākaʻikaʻi i hele pinepine ʻia ma Marib" me 40-60 mau malihini kipa i kēlā me kēia lā, haʻi ʻo ia i ka AFP, e hoʻopaʻa ana i kahi pu kaua kahiko.

ʻAʻole i loaʻa nā hale hōkele ma waho o nā kūlanakauhale nui, e hoʻoholo ana i ka mākaʻikaʻi lehulehu ma Yemen, ʻoiai ʻo kāna waiwai archaeological kupaianaha.
