Sometimes by the time you finish looking at something, you forget how you found it in the first place. Anyway, here are some oddly identical tweets. Are these the result of bot activity?

The answer is "sort of". The repeated tweets about South Yemen are indeed automated, via the website shown here where anyone can sign up their Twitter account to broadcast the tweets in question via a service called "South Arabia tweets".
By searching for the repeated tweets, we found 95 accounts that had tweeted via "South Arabia tweets" in the last 10 days. The tweets in question are very repetitive - each account has broadcast the most frequent ones a dozen or so times.
Returning to the original question of "are they bots"? The 33 accounts that have done little other than post via the "South Arabia tweets" app arguably are, while it's likely that at least some of the others are ordinary Twitter users who have added the app to their accounts.
