International security/Middle east
Turmoil erupted across the Middle East last week, first with the passing
of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and then with the total collapse of the U.S.
backed Yemeni government.
With all these developments, President
Obama had to cut short his trip to India and fly to Saudi Arabia to pay his
respects to the late king, and meet with the new leader, Prince Salman bin
Abdulaziz.
With the passing of King Abdullah, the
president had to deal with the ongoing situation in Yemen, where the U.S.
backed government of Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi collapsed from
attacks by Iranian supported Shi’ite Houthi rebel group.
