Yemen, 1978 to 2026. For thirty-three years Ali Abdullah Saleh ran the Arab world's poorest country through his family; a UN panel reported allegations that he amassed up to $60 billion, and in 2026 two of his sons stood trial in Paris over apartments near the Arc de Triomphe. When his state broke apart, the armed authorities that took its pieces made the war pay: fuel levies, seized companies, payrolls of soldiers who did not exist. A reporter who followed the fuel money died of carbon monoxide poisoning in Sanaa. Covers Ali Abdullah Saleh and his sons Ahmed Ali and Khaled Saleh, the Houthi movement and its judicial custodian Saleh Mesfer al-Shaer, the arms trafficker Fares Manaa, Ahmed al-Essi and the Alessi Group, and the journalist Mohammed al-Absi.
