    ISIS in Yemen: Redoubt Or Remnant? Challenges and Options for Dealing with a Jihadist Threat in a Conflict Environment

    JOURNAL OF SOUTH ASIAN AND MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES ISIS in Yemen: Redoubt or Remnant? Challenges and Options for Dealing with a Jihadist Threat in a Conflict Environment by NORMAN CIGAR Abstract: The emergence of ISIS has represented a significant security risk to U.S. interests and to regional states. In Yemen, the ISIS threat has evolved within Occasional Paper #1 the country’s devastating civil war and, while its lethality has declined, this study Villanova University suggests it remains a factor of concern, Villanova, PA and assesses the challenges and options available for the US and for the November 2020 international community for dealing with this threat. ISIS in Yemen: Redoubt or Remnant? Challenges and Options for Dealing with a Jihadist Threat in a Conflict Environment by Norman Cigar “The fight against terrorism is far from over” Leon E. Panetta, Former Director CIA, 25 August 20191 Introduction and Terms of Reference Even in its short history, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has posed a significant security challenge both to U.S. interests and to regional states. As the ISIS Caliphate disintegrated recently in its heartland of Iraq and Syria under a succession of blows by its international and local adversaries, the focus of the international community often shifted to ISIS’s outlying branches. However, contrary to early optimism, ISIS has proved a stubborn survivor even in its Iraq-Syria core, while its presence in branches or affiliates in areas such as the Sinai, the Sahara, West Africa, Mozambique, Yemen, and Khurasan (Afghanistan/Pakistan) also continues to be a significant security threat to local and international interests.2 Moreover, each theater of operations presents a unique set of characteristics, complicating the fight against such local ISIS branches.

    The Huthis and Al-Qaeda by Lucas Winter Journal Article | May 1 2013 - 2:30Am

    The Ansar of Yemen: The Huthis and al-Qaeda By Lucas Winter Journal Article | May 1 2013 - 2:30am Introduction: The Tranisition from Saleh Yemen’s Tunisia-inspired “Arab Spring” began in late January 2011, when small groups of student protesters gathered outside the gates of Sana’a University in the country’s capital. Attempts to disperse them failed, and the movement quickly spread to other parts of the country. By late February large protests were occurring throughout the country, from the port city of Aden in the restive south, to Taizz in the country’s southwest, and Sa’dah in the far north.[1] On March 18 2011, following an especially bloody episode perpetrated by pro-regime snipers in Sana’a (the “Karama Massacre”[2]), several political and military elites defected from the regime, splitting Yemen’s military and political class. Key political and security assets were either recalled to the capital or caught in the middle of the sudden politicization of state resources, providing an opening for local non-state actors to step in. The key regime defector was Ali Mushin al-Ahmar, then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s longtime right- hand man and arguably the military’s most important figure for several decades. Over the previous decade or so Ali Muhsin was believed to have become increasingly disgruntled with the Saleh family’s centralization of military power at his expense and to have had a contentious relationship with Ali Ahmed Saleh, the former president’s son and heir-apparent, who headed the powerful Republican Guard. The new Muhsin-led “rebel army” pledged to protect protesters from attack by Saleh loyalists.

  • A False Foundation?

    A False Foundation?

    A False Foundation? AQAP, Tribes and Ungoverned Spaces in Yemen Edited by: Gabriel Koehler-Derrick THE COMBATING TERRORISM CENTER AT WEST POINT www.ctc.usma.edu September 2011 © Combating Terrorism Center at West Point (September 2011) The views expressed in this report are the author’s and do not necessarily reflect the Combating Terrorism Center, the U.S. Military Academy, the Department of Defense or the U.S. government. Editor’s Acknowledgements: This project is based on twelve months of fieldwork completed by the author from 2008 to 2009 and subsequent phone interviews with contacts in Marib and al-Jawf through the spring of 2011. The author’s name has been withheld from this report because of his continued research in the region. Nevertheless, the project would not have been possible without the assistance of a number of individuals who deserve very public thanks for helping to bring this report to fruition. First and foremost are the numerous Yemenis who generously shared their time and thoughts with the author. The sons of Marib and al-Jawf were exceptional hosts, and the author could not have asked for finer hospitality or friends. This report would quite simply not have been possible without their patience, contributions and insight. In addition, contributions from numerous scholars have helped the author and editor sharpen this report and make it a far more cogent exploration of two very complex phenomena: jihadism in Yemen and the tribes and customs of Marib and al-Jawf. Sincerest thanks to professors Steven Caton and Nelly Lahoud, who rigorously scrutinized drafts from two very different perspectives and provided invaluable comments that helped strengthen the project.
