    Analysis selection for JCC January 2021 Further widespread inauguration-related protests likely in US following Capitol riot, opens door for limited bipartisanship on policymaking 7 Jan 2021 - Country Risk | Headline Analysis During the counting of the electoral college votes on 6 January in the United States, protesters broke into the Capitol, where they stopped the proceedings and ransacked several congressional offices. • Thousands of demonstrators had been encouraged hours earlier by President Donald Trump, who had told them in a morning rally next to the White House to march to the Capitol to voice their displeasure at the certification of president-elect Joe Biden’s victory. After breaking through police barriers, protesters broke a window and forced open doors to enter the building. During the melee, one woman died from gunshot wounds and another three from unspecified ‘separate medical emergencies’. There have been at least 52 arrests, mainly for breaking curfew and weapons charges, according to the police. Media sources have reported that pipe bombs were also found at the committee headquarters of both major political parties. About two hours after the break-in, President Trump released a video message relaying that although he empathised with the demonstrators’ desire to overturn the process, they should go home and refrain from violent activity. Congress restarted the counting hours later, with politicians from both parties condemning the rioting. • It appears that despite warnings, Capitol Hill police were underprepared for potential violence, calling for the Washington (DC) police’s backup only after the situation was out of control. While most Republican politicians denounced the rioters, right-wing media has offered more of a mixed message on the events, with several outlets casting blame on individuals associated with the left-wing Antifa movement.

    Priorities for Government Policy in Yemen

    No: 10 Date: February 5, 2019 PRIORITIES FOR GOVERNMENT POLICY IN YEMEN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This policy brief outlines recommendations for the immediate priorities of the Government of Yemen, both to achieve quick wins and to prepare the ground for medium and long-term suc- cess. These recommendations are the outcomes of in-depth discussions held during the fourth Development Champions Forum convened on December 8-11, 2018, in Amman, Jordan. They are designed to offer Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed and his cabinet a set of practical measures to help the government build on the momentum and increased visibility it achieved in the final quarter of 2018. The immediate priorities recommended by the Development Champions include steps to sup- port the stabilization of the local currency. an area in which tangible progress has already been made. The Champions also urge the government to regularize the payment of public sector sal- aries and pensions. Another immediate priority for the government should be to take steps to stabilize and transform Aden, the Champions suggest, based on the shared consensus that the southern coastal city could become a model for the rest of Yemen. The Champions emphasized that developing Aden would depend on improving the level of security across the governorate. While recognizing that the government faces immediate challenges that demand attention in Aden and across the country, the Development Champions urge the government to plan and im- plement procedures to prepare for the country’s medium and long-term future. These strategies should address the root causes of Yemen’s socio-economic instability, and not just its symptoms.

Although food imports will continue, food prices are expected to follow the exchange rate and are therefore likely to increase and diverge among different geographic areas of control. Price inflation remains the most commonly reported constraint when accessing food and WASH items, fuel, and water trucking services (REACH 06/04/2021). The increase in food prices has Risk 1 led the Yemeni people to adopt negative coping strategies, such as reducing the number and/ or size of meals, borrowing food or requesting help from friends and relatives, and relying Depletion of foreign currency reserves drives inflation up; eroded purchasing on less expensive food (IRC 26/03/2021). In the long term, these behaviours are likely to have power and high food prices result in increased levels of food insecurity. a detrimental effect on people’s health, making them more vulnerable to food insecurity, malnutrition, waterborne diseases, and other disease outbreaks. Sources of foreign currency inflow in Yemen – especially oil exports, humanitarian funding, and bilateral financial support – remain constrained. The average exchange rate for the new Yemeni rial (YER) banknotes under the Internationally Recognized Government (IRG) was higher in March than in February. Remittances also remain below pre-COVID-19 levels, although they Risk 2 are likely to increase during Ramadan. IRG revenues from oil exports are expected to remain limited because of global crude oil prices decreasing again at the end of March, along with Reduced capacity to deliver assistance – because of further cuts in limited exports from Yemen.

    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines

    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.

    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 3158 Houthis Kill Top UAE-Backed Separatist Yemeni Commander by Elana DeLozier Aug 1, 2019 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Elana DeLozier Elana DeLozier is the Rubin Family Fellow in the Bernstein Program on Gulf and Energy Policy at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, where she specializes in Yemen, the Gulf states, and nuclear weapons and proliferation. Brief Analysis Coming just weeks after Abu Dhabi's drawdown from the anti-Houthi fight, the provocative attack could be a pivotal moment for Yemen’s future. n August 1, a Houthi strike on a military graduation ceremony in Aden killed a major southern military O figure. Brig. Gen. Munir Mahmoud Ahmad al-Mashali, more commonly known as Abu Yamamah al-Yafai, was a high-profile commander of the UAE-backed Security Belt Forces. He also supported a breakaway independent South Yemen in the chaos of the war with Houthi forces, which in 2014 deposed the internationally recognized government in Sana, the capital. His death sent shock waves across the south. The war itself has stalemated between Saudi and UAE-backed government forces on one hand, and Houthi-aligned forces supported politically and militarily by Iran on the other. An Iranian missile or drone was probably involved in today’s attack. Apart from Abu Yamamah, more than thirty soldiers were killed and dozens injured during the parade at the al-Jala military base, located in Aden’s Buraiqa district. Despite publicly supporting the government of Yemeni prime minister Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, the UAE has primarily empowered those who favor the emergence of a separate South Yemen with Aden as its capital—often to the chagrin of Saudi Arabia, its close ally and partner in Yemen.
