Obeying the guerrillas' order, Captain Erwin Zollner landed at Aden in the People's Democratic Republic of South Yemen. There the guerrillas freed women and children and 16 hours later the 118 male passengers. The 14 crew members, however, were held for two days while the airline concluded a ransom agreement...
...advocate: that the United States should not only acquiesce in the expulsion of Taiwan from the United Nations, but should abrogate its defense treaty with that nation, making a military takeover by Mainland China inevitable. To back this argument for betrayal you use an obscure bad analogy with Yemen and some facile generalizations from international law. (Regular readers of the Crimson may have found this nice concern for the law somewhat ironic.) I suppose, however, that you are right in saying that there would not be a bloodbath in Taiwan unless the survivors were unwise enough to resist consolidation: they...
Such fabrications serve as a naked threat to challenge the credentials of any nation America wishes to attack. No "member nation" is expelled by the change in credentials of the Chinese representative. This procedure has an established precedent in the U.N.

There was never a question raised of Two Yemens, only...

It is unlikely...
Word of the summary execution quickly spread throughout Yemen. Harazi's family refused to bury him unless action were taken. President Abdul Rahman Iryani, a frequent rival of General Amri, reportedly wanted to try the general for murder. So did many members of Yemen's first elected legislature, the 159-member Shoura Council, which was installed last April. "Killing people like animals cannot be tolerated," declared Councillor Ali Saif Kholi. Many of the legislators were still angered over Amri's strong-armed attempt to dissolve the legislature only the week before...
