<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">arabian republic</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for yemen that I've seen before include "Enemy (anag) - country of Arabia" , "Middle Eastern country" , "Arabian republic, capital Sanaa" , "Country to W. of Oman" , "Republic by the Red Sea" .)
