  • Yemen Crisis Student Officer: Albert
    Forum: Joint Crisis Committee Issue: Yemen Crisis Student Officer: Albert Pan, Kay Zin, Nandar Khine Tun Introduction The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is a continuous crisis in which at least 8.4 million people on the brink of starvation, 22.2 million people require humanitarian assistance, and approximately 400,000 children under the age of five are in life-threatening situations due to acute malnutrition, according to the United Nations. The Yemen crisis began with an international coalition by Saudi Arabia that was interrupted. This was first ignited when the Yemenis protested against the then president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who led the country to widespread poverty and unemployment. These rebellions were led by a politically Shia rebellion group called the Houthis. In 2012, the then Vice - President of Yemen, Hadi, became the new President after Ali Abdullah Saleh got overthrown. The intent of the political transition was to bring stability. However, President Hadi had difficulties addressing the issues of food insecurity, corruption, and militant attacks. Political unrest caused groups such as the Al Qaeda and Daesh to attempt to take over the country. At the same time, the Houthis were attempting to do the same, but was lacking military power. They somehow formed an alliance with Ali Abdullah Saleh, who they had kicked out of office. Saudi Arabia saw this alliance as a threat, because it meant that Iran was backing the Houthis. This could raise the risk of Iranian influence affecting Saudi Arabia. This caused Saudi Arabia to create a wall and bombed Yemen in 2015 to drive the Houthis out.

That run comprised seven wins and five draws. • Les Verts' nine-game unbeaten home run in Europe stretches back to the quarter-finals of the 1980/81 UEFA Cup, when a team featuring UEFA President Michel Platini lost 4-1 to Ipswich Town FC at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Economicheskie, sotsialno-politicheskie, etnokonfessionalnie problemi afro-asiatskih stran,” Мoscow, 2017, P. 189–196. Keywords: Shiism, Sunnism, Zaydiyah, Houthis, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the U.S. Ural Sharipov, Dr.Sc.(Hist.) Institute of Oriental Studies, RAS The Yemen crisis, the researcher emphasizes, reflects not only internal contradictions between tribes, Sunnites and Shiites, but also interests of monarchic regimes of the Arabian Peninsula and also the U.S. In Yemen throughout centuries tribal entities belonging to two leading branches of Islam – Shiism and Sunnism coexist. Though there were ideological religious differences between them, their mutual contradictions didn't take severe forms. During the 20th century this country which was long time a feudal monarchy was involved in a whirl of political changes. In 1962 as a result of revolution Zaydiyah (a branch of Shiite Islam) monarchy was overthrown, and the country began to live within the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR) under auspices of a Sunni ruling elite. The Shiite minority was represented as if playing supporting roles. There were changes in state system of Yemen in the last decades of 20th century: in 1967 the southern Yemen which was the British protectorate got independence, and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (PDRY) adhering to pro-socialist orientation was formed; in 1990 YAR and PDRY united in one Republic of Yemen (RY). During this period on the political stage of the approaching Yemen penetration of Al-Qaeda into this country began.

  • Ligue-1-2016 2017.Pdf
    A Note from the Editor: For many, Ligue 1 cannot restart quickly enough following an almost perfect, but fundamentally cruel EURO 2016 for France on home soil. The pain suffered on that night in Paris by Didier Deschamps’s men and an entire nation remains all the more heartrending because of the newfound professionalism that Les Bleus conducted themselves with throughout the tournament. Karim Benzema antics aside, contrary to years of squad infighting, the team spirit inside the French camp was the strongest it had been since 2000. On the pitch, France proved that they are on the cusp of a new golden generation, with Samuel Umtiti, Kingsley Coman and Antoine Griezmann all shining. Although some of Les Bleus’ much touted young guns fell short of expectations, namely Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, France’s U19 EURO win further confirms that the future is astonishingly bright for French football on the international scene. One would not be foolish to expect there to be some turnover of talent for the 2018 World Cup cycle, with Patrice Evra and others’ involvement coming to an end. Much like Les Bleus therefore, Ligue 1 too can expect a very different feel for the 2016/17 season. PSG have entered a new era after President Al Khelaifi’s obsession for progression in the Champions’ League failed to be adequately satisfied by Laurent Blanc, leading to the latter’s dismissal. Les Parisiens have appointed Unai Emery in Blanc’s place, who brings a new-age management approach that relies on a squad instead of a team of individuals, a charge often leveled at Blanc’s PSG.
