committees have managed to pressure Ansar AlSharia out of Zinjibar and Khanfar districts; the situation continues to be fragile in the whole Southern governorates. The control of the Yemeni government over Abyan, Shabwa and AlDhale governorate is still very limited which is creating a vacuum in terms of law and order. In Aden and Lahj, the government is losing more territories for non-state groups, tribes, activists and political movements. The presence of the semi-militia popular committees, as a new phenomenon in the South, is of concern as the government has no control over their activities and they have no discipline and hierarchy in place. The fighting in Abyan has displaced nearly 40,000 households (HHs) and damaged the livelihood of another 30,000-35,000.

  • 06.22.12-USAID-DCHA Yemen Complex Emergency
    FACT SHEET #9, FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2012 JUNE 22, 2012 YEMEN – COMPLEX EMERGENCY KEY DEVELOPMENTS From June 19 to 21, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah traveled to Yemen to discuss humanitarian and development issues in the country with high-level representatives from the Republic of Yemen Government (RoYG)—including President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi and Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi—and members of the international humanitarian and development communities. During the visit, Administrator Shah announced plans to provide up to $52 million in additional U.S. Government (USG) assistance to Yemen, including approximately $23 million in humanitarian assistance. Administrator Shah’s announcement brings total USG humanitarian and development assistance in FY 2012 to approximately $170 million, including nearly $105 million in humanitarian assistance. The additional humanitarian assistance will help address the humanitarian needs of conflict-affected populations across Yemen through the distribution of emergency relief supplies and food assistance, as well as support for nutrition and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions. Prior to Administrator Shah’s visit, Nancy Lindborg, Assistant Administrator for USAID’s Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (AA/DCHA), traveled to Yemen’s capital city of Sana’a from June 1 to 3 to discuss humanitarian issues with the RoYG, U.S. Embassy in Sana’a, USAID/Yemen, and international humanitarian community representatives. During her visit, AA/DCHA Lindborg announced an additional $6.5 million in humanitarian assistance to Yemen to address the needs of vulnerable and conflict-affected populations in the country. On May 12, RoYG forces launched an offensive aimed at reclaiming towns and cities controlled by militant groups in Abyan Governorate.

Highlights Military operations in Abyan and Shabwah Governorates On 29 April, the Government launched military operations against elements of Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in Abyan, Shabwah and Al Bayda Governorates in south-central Yemen. Estimates indicate that up to 24,500 people have been displaced in Abyan and Shabwah. This includes 21,000 IDPs who have been verified, the vast majority of whom (18,760) are in Shabwah. An additional 3,500 people are reportedly displaced in Abyan, but insecurity is hindering efforts to verify this information. The scale of the humanitarian consequences of the offensive remains unclear, but appears limited. Immediate needs are in food, access to health This map highlights Abyan, Shabwah and Al Bayda Governorates along the care, support with non-food items and access to south-central coast of Yemen.
