On the lam from all his would-be reformers-including the police-he ends up in the layatories of Morocco, blissfully scribbling a long poem based on Hamlet.

When its members flew into San'a two weeks ago to set up a peace congress, he ordered them to leave...
...Germany for allegedly supporting Israel during the war, 2) organize a total trade boycott of the three countries, and 3) continue their current oil embargo. Egypt, Iraq and Republican Yemen were in general support. On the right, oil-rich Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Libya-joined by Jordan, Tunisia and Morocco-insisted on maintaining all ties with the West and scrapping the oil embargo, which was costing each of them $500,000 a day in lost revenues.
