  • 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.

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.

  • What Is Needed in Yemen's Post Conflict Phase?
    The Fourth Conference on National Dialogues and non-formal dialogue processes, June 11-12, 2019 Background paper by: Sama’a Al-Hamdani Non-resident fellow at the Middle East Institute (MEI) What is needed in Yemen’s Post Conflict Phase? Background on Yemen’s Transition After the Arab uprisings in 2011 and the ouster of longtime President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2012, Yemen commenced a transitional operation based on an agreement brokered by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The resulting treaty, “The Agreement on the Implementation Mechanism for the Transition Process in Yemen in accordance with the Initiative of the GCC,”1 was forged in the aftermath of a multilateral settlement process sponsored by the GCC and backed by the United States (US), the European Union (EU), and the United Nations (UN). Under the auspices of these multilateral partners, Yemen’s elites negotiated amongst themselves to prevent civil conflict and allow for the peaceful transfer of power from President Saleh2 to his then vice president, Mr. Abdo Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The treaty, effectively a roadmap for Yemen’s post-Saleh future, outlined a transitional period composed of two primary phases of specific durations. The first phase commenced with the signing of the treaty and concluded with the holding of presidential elections. This election was symbolic -the ballot contained a single, previously selected candidate: Mr. Hadi, who would “win” the presidency3 by default. The second, two-year period, would commence with the formation and assembly of two bodies: the “Government of National Unity (GNU),” tasked with general governance, and the National Dialogue Conference (NDC),” a forum for the redress of public political grievances.

  • AL-QAEDA (AQAP) in WADI-HADHRAMAUT: the Odds of Decline and Survival
    AL-QAEDA (AQAP) IN WADI-HADHRAMAUT: The Odds of Decline and survival Farida Ahmed 24. June 2021 South24 Center for News and Studies Al-Qaeda in Wadi-Hadhramaut: The Odds of Decline and survival In May 2015, our bus had stopped on the Sanaa-Seiyun road in Hadhramaut Governorate. At a checkpoint, where the distinctive black flags of Al Qaeda (AQAP) were hovering, two men, one masked, asked if there were military elements among the bus passengers, and the answer was “no”. Suspiciously, they had checked up some ID. Cards before they permitted the driver to go on his way and apologized to us for such a routine procedure. A month earlier, specifically on April 2, 2015, Al Qaeda had seized control of the entire city of Al Mukalla in Hadhramaut, the second most important city in South after Aden. That is why raising questions about military members and searching for them were not surprising given Al Qaeda’s efforts to enhance its influence and control over the city. Therefore, the military elements had two choices, whether to join Al Qaeda and accept working under their command or risking death by confronting them. In 2014, the organization executed 14 soldiers after intercepting their bus during their return from their bases near the city of Shibam in Hadhramaut. Although the soldiers, in civilian clothes, did not resist, Al Qaeda had carried out and recorded those field executions to retaliate losing 11 armed members during an earlier confrontation with the army. Al Qaeda took advantage of the chaos and the deterioration of the security and political situation during the Houthis’ control of Sanaa and the beginning of the Decisive Storm operation on March 25, 2015, to tighten its grip on Al Mukalla for a whole year.

  • Introduction
    nd th The Hague International Model United Nations Qatar 2019| 22 ​ – 25 ​ of January 2019 ​ ​ ​ ​ Forum: Security Council Issue: The Question of Yemen Student Officer: Prkriti Tandon, Irene Yang, Kalana Senevirathne Position: Security Council Presidents Introduction Famous United States World War II military naval general William D.Leahy once said “War cannot be won by destroying women and children.” This is most true in the case of Yemen, which has been described by the United Nations (UN) as the worst humanitarian crisis in modern times. With two main domestic political powers struggling for control in this Low income Country (LIC), the international community may believe this conflict to be internal and not of concern to the global peace. However; most civilians of the rest of the world do not know of the fractured alliances and seeping influence of terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda, Daesh and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which presents the very real threat of ISIS gaining power over yet another country in the Middle East. The war is ripped between the separatist forces of the Houthis, who control the Northern part of Yemen and are backed by the regional rival Iran, and the Saudi-led coalition with the help of the United States of America (USA) through logistical, and intelligence aid; in this way the international nature of the war is also apparent. Unfortunately, the separation of power do not cease there, as the coalition is further split between former president Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi’s loyalists, and the UAE backed Southern Transitional Council, which has caused infighting in the strategic military base city of Aden.

  • Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's Propaganda During the Civil War in Yemen by Katherine Amelia
    Jihad for Hearts and Minds: Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s Propaganda During the Civil War in Yemen By Katherine Amelia Papadopoulos Senior Honors Thesis Department of Peace, War, and Defense University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 16, 2020 Approved: _____________________________ Dr. Cori E. Dauber, Thesis Advisor _____________________________ Erinn Whitaker, Reader Chapter 1: Introduction and Literature Review When the subject of Yemen comes up, it’s often through the prism of the terrorist threat that is emanating from within its borders. And for good reason: Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, is al-Qaida’s most active affiliate. It has assassinated Yemeni leaders, murdered Yemeni citizens, kidnapped and killed aid workers, targeted American interests, encouraged attacks in the United States and attempted repeated attacks against U.S. aviation. - John O. Brennan, Assistant to President for Homeland Security, August 20121 Since the outbreak of the civil war in Yemen on 22 March 2015, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has established itself as a formidable local actor in Yemen. Preceded by a violent history of terrorist attacks in Yemen, including the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole, Al Qaeda affiliates in Saudi Arabia and Yemen merged to establish AQAP in 2009.2 The Yemen-based arm of al Qaeda grew to be named the most dangerous Al Qaeda affiliate considered a regional threat as well as a threat to the United States homeland in 2011.3 Fueled by unrest triggered by the Arab Spring, AQAP weaponized an insurgent force, Ansar al-Sharia, seized significant portions of Yemen’s southern governorates, and ruled by Sharia law.4 However, AQAP lost much of its territory after the newly elected Yemeni President, Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi, launched a counterinsurgency campaign backed by the United States in the summer of 2012.5 The political and humanitarian crises created by the Yemen civil war have allowed AQAP to thrive once again.

  • Ideologies of Arab Media and Politics: a Critical Discourse Analysis of Al
    Ideologies of Arab media and politics: a critical discourse analysis of Al Jazeera debates on the Yemeni revolution Raiya Sulaiman Al Kharusi Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD August 2016 I Abstract and keywords Abstract: Critical discourse analysis investigates the ways in which discourse is to abuse power relationships. Political debates constitute discourses that mirror certain aspects of ideologies. This study aimed to uncover the ideological intentions in the formulation and circulation of hegemonic political ideology in TV political debates that occurred in the 2011-2012 Yemen revolution, examining the question of how ideology was used as a tool of hegemony. The corpus of the study consisted of fifteen debates (73915 words) from four live debate programmes (The Opposite Direction, In Depth, Behind the News and the Revolution Talk) staged at Al Jazeera Arabic TV channel between 2011 and 2012. Al Jazeera was selected as the focus of this study because of its position as the most popular TV in the Arab world and due to its strong presence during the Arab revolutions. Two debate sides were identified: government, representing the president Ali Abdullah Saleh and his regime, and protesters, who represented the discontent populace gathering squares who demanded the abdication of the president. Data were also obtained from interviews conducted with the Al Jazeera staff who managed the debates. Analysis was conducted on the verbal discourse aspects of four debates, one debate from each programme, using critical discourse analysis: aspects from the van Leeuwen’s (2008, 2009) Social Actor Network model, supplemented by additional linguistic features.

  • Yemen's Question: from the Struggle for Freedom to the Struggle for Survival
    TURKISH JOURNAL OF MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES Türkiye Ortadoğu Çalışmaları Dergisi Vol: 2, No: 2, 2015, ss.89-108 Yemen’s Question: From the Struggle for Freedom to the Struggle for Survival Ahmed A. Al Zandani* Abstract When Yemenis demonstrated almost 5 years ago, shouting “The People Want the Fall of the Regime,” they did not know how complex the situation is, and how regional and international powers will determine their future. As one of the objectives of the revolution, Yemenis deemed that by removing President Salih from power, the revolution would guarantee their freedom. But the politics of the Arab World and the Middle East proved otherwise. Since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire almost a century ago, the Arab World has been subjected to the hegemony of the great powers. Thus, the real obstacle for democratic transition within the Middle Eastern countries comes from outside rather than domestic threats. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that revolutionary leader’s reliance on foreign powers to change the political system and to achieve the revolutionary objectives was counterproductive in which constituted a huge obstacle in achieving those objectives, paving the way to civil war in Yemen, turning the struggle for freedom to struggle for survival.
