      30% of the area and 70% of the population.

      So, follow with me here: They believe incorrectly that Ansarallah controls 30% of the land that contains 70% of the population.

      Except, and I know math can be hard, if I wanted to talk about the land that the above believes Ansarallah doesn’t control, I’d have to take the total land, 100% in this and all cases, and subtract the land the above thinks Ansarallah does control, 30% in this case.

      So… What does 100 - 30 equal?
