...despite his reputation for hotheadedness, the gruff general, 48, had managed to become Premier of the primitive Arab nation no fewer than seven times since 1962, when nationalist forces supported by Egyptian troops overthrew the conservative Moslem imamate.* Now, however, Amri's temper has apparently cost a young Yemeni shopkeeper his life and Amri his job as Premier and commander in chief of the armed forces. It is unlikely that he will ever again hold high office in Yemen...
...many years, Qabus ordered the release of 19 political prisoners. He offered full amnesty to the Dhofari rebels in the southwest who had opposed his father's regime; one group responded by congratulating him on his accession. He still faces opposition from Dhofari extremists, backed by the South Yemeni government in Aden and half a dozen Chinese advisers, but the rebel pressure will be sharply reduced.

...Yemen. Nor can the Republicans expect help from Nasser, whose last troops left in the middle of last week's fighting. Although the Cairo newspaper Al Ahram charged that the CIA was behind the Royalists, the government made it plain that it considers the fighting essentially a "domestic Yemeni affair." Thus, after years of stalemate, the Yemeni civil war appeared finally to be reaching the climax that Nasser's intervention had so long managed to delay-but not to deny...
