Is Yemen Arab or African?
Approved answer
Demographics of Yemen
The majority of Yemen's population is primarily composed of ethnic Arabs and Afro-Arabs. There exists a small ethnic minority known as the al-Muhamasheen, which does not align with any of the country’s three predominant Arab tribes. Estimates suggest that this group constitutes about 2-5 percent of the overall population, although some community sources indicate that this figure may be as high as 10 percent.
