I don't think you realise that Yemeni airspace extends far further out over the water than that, mainly due to Yemen's control of Socotra. The path for ET601 you show is actually a routing of B404 RIGAM B400 HAI R401 ANVIX and then into the BUBIN hold. The entire section of DEMGO B404 RIGAM B400 IMKAD is in Yemeni airspace.
