Around the World

1. Republic of Yemen : is the poorest state in the Middle East located in the south and south-western portion of the Arabian Peninsula . It has a turbulent history of civil wars and conquest with a tradition of individuals bearing weapons. The Queen of Sheba reigned in Yemen and sought wisdom from Solomon three millennia ago. Even though Christianity was strong by 400 AD, the Muslim conquest obliterated it in the 7 th century. Today, it is illegal for non-Muslims to proselytize and for Muslims to become Christians.
