Arabia
FAO warns of locust invasion of several areas in Yemen
2023-08-19
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warned Thursday of the breeding of desert locust swarms in parts of the interior regions of Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
in the coming days.

The organization indicated that there are some groups of adult swarms in Wadi Hadramout
...the formerly independent Qu'aiti state and sultanate, annexed by Communist South Yemen in 1968, encompassing a region along the Gulf of Aden, extending eastwards to the borders of the Dhofar region of Oman. The people are called Hadhramis and speak Hadhrami Arabic. The city Tarimis is estimated to contain the highest concentration of descendants of the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI) anywhere in the world, approximately seven in every square yard...
, in addition to the spread of adult and immature insects in the interior regions and adult and immature insects on the eastern coast of the country.

The locust crisis continues to escalate in Yemen as a result of the arrival of many swarms and their movement from one place to another in light of the limited means of control and the increasing dangers of the continuous invasion of desert locusts in particular and their threat to the sources of food security in the country.

#4  Damned if those "Harvest Weekend" lines don't work as giant alien locust haiku, too. Green I am, with the bitter beer of envy. :)

#3  Just about annual, yes. Israel uses insecticides, I believe, but many of her neighbours apparently just suffer.

So, Can You Eat Locusts for Survival?
'Harvest Weekend' camping trip.
Boy Scouts, hungry 10 year olds.
Stripped'em, tossed'em in the bacon pan.
