All are made indistinguishable by their black niqabs as they chant "Our soul and blood we will give to you, oh Yemen" and Russian made assault rifles, some scrawled upon in Arabic, are waved ceremoniously.Young girls, covered in more colorful garb, join in with their elders who rally "to protest the Zio-Saudi aggression against Yemen.""We, the women of Yemen, say to America, Saudi Arabia, and Israel: By God, you will never enter our country, even if nobody is left in Yemen but women.
