The Country Of Yemen Under Siege

There are many factors that increase the potential for instability and terrorism in Saudi Arabia. Among these factors are, their borders which have so many people trying to cross it that security has a hard time trying to prevent them from doing so.

The government is in shambles, but the effort to regain control of the country is underway and moving in the right direction. The wide variety of crops that are grown, a limited amount is actually sold for a profit and the majority of their budgeting comes from the different international and foreign programs. Yemeni’s, however, are a proud and religious group and have many of the same social segregation, customs and courtesies as other Arab countries. Due to the unrest of the militias and “terrorist” groups within the country, their military is unable to effectively grow, train and receive the more updated equipment other countries are lucky to

targets. On September 11, 2001, Al Qaeda successfully accomplished its most devastating attack against the United States, killing nearly 3,000 civilians. On May 2, 2011, Al Qaeda’s leader, Osama Bin Laden, was assassinated; however, the terrorist network still exists. Two days after his death, Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri was elected as the new and current leader of Al-Qaeda. The network of terrorist is powerful and still growing in the amount of their supporters. Al Qaeda is a global threat because of their large quantity of global supporters, financial position, and access to weapons and

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as Isis, terror group has been an important issue in the United States for the past couple of years. After the recall of troops from Iraq, radical Islamist movements started to begin and Isis was formed. The first issue of Isis is they have grown in numbers over the years. Secondly, Isis controls thousands of square miles of ungoverned territory. Their high supply of troops and land allows them to creatively think of major attacks, including attacks on the U.S. Lastly, when people see the attacks from Isis, some people naturally gravitate towards these groups. Two months after 9/11 attacks Osama Bin Laden said “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature, they will like the strong horse.” Isis will continue to grow in power if countries do not come together to help totally eliminate them.

Driven by Usama bin Laden, Al Qaeda grew immensely from 1988-2011, adding on affiliates such as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and training militant groups in fatas in Pakistan. The Salafi Jihadist movement and the groups responsible for its mobility have gained international attention (and sympathizers), creating a strong base to work towards the creation of the caliphate. What, then, was the impact of Usama bin Laden’s assassination by U.S. Navy SEALS in 2011 on the Salafi

With the emergence of the 21st century the necessity for a broader understanding of security have said present. The world has experienced a variety of new security challenges that have put at stake human safety and have made policymakers all around the world rethink their approach and strategies when it comes to the decision making process. The rise of terrorist organizations in the international arena as well as the development of extremist groups has offered extreme significance to the quest for power and the search for peace, while requiring us to look back and examine our achievements and failures in the analysis of terrorism, extremist groups and our counterterrorism efforts since 9/11. It is essential for all Americans to understand

Al Qaeda is most known for their terrorist attacks. They have had six major attacks and four of them were towards America to seek revenge. The first terrorist attack was on December 29, 1992. They detonated two bombs in Aden, Yemen at the Movenpick Hotel and Goldmohur Hotel in hope of eliminating the American soldiers that were on their way to Somalia. Fortunately, no Americans were killed but some were injured.

Usually the government wants the best for the people of its nation, and provides for their needs. Shockingly, this is not the case in Yemen, where families with young children are left to defend themselves. Specifically homosexual men are being targeted by their own nation, and terrorist groups. The conflict in Yemen is in the most dire of situations as innocent people are dying, becoming homeless, and getting arrested. This is an urgent problem because many innocent people are being victimized in Yemen, and have nobody on their side.

Traditionally, the military is used for defense, whether it is to defend the country or the country’s interests. However, sometimes the threat which to defend against is harder to discern than when in open warfare. In the modern age, a large threat to America and countries everywhere is terrorism. From September 11, 2001 to the Florida shootings, terrorism, domestic and abroad, has been a true threat

The Obama administration did a good job of “bolstering” Jordan against chaos from Iraq and Syria so far, but stepping back from the region could still stir up some problems with the neighboring countries of Jordan such as Lebanon, Turkey, Tunisia, and Egypt. Although it being risky for the United States, it may not always work to be involved in other countries because of cost and resources that would be used to stabilize the foreign countries rather than reconstructing them. All of these countries want and need western economic, diplomatic, technical, and military assistance, but in order to make that happen, the U.S. needs to get rid of the root of the problem, stating that no matter how many terrorists the United States kills, if these civil wars don’t stop, “more young men will turn to terrorism” (Pollack). There are urgent requests from the Yemeni government for economic reconstruction, which is in a deadly competition with Al-Quaeda (C. Chosky & J. Chosky).  Hence, the United States could do a better job in foreign nations.

What many individuals do not know is that Yemen is one of the worst humanitarian crises occurring today. Yemen is located in the Middle East, north of the horn of Africa and south of Saudi Arabia. Before the current conflict began, Yemen was already the poorest country in the Middle East, with half of their population at or below the poverty line. Since 2004, a war between the Republic of Yemen Government (RoYG) and the Houthi rebels began, which increased the humanitarian crises in Yemen (Whitaker, 2011). This affects the citizens of Yemen as the unlawful airstrikes from Saudi Arabia are harming the citizens rather than aiding the war efforts. The US should respond to the Humanitarian Crisis in order for Yemen to become economically and politically

Yemen a great desert in the Arabic peninsula , located south to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and left to Oman , has also a shore : mainly on the Red Sea and on the Gulf of Aden. Yemen has some natural resources (oil) but unfortunately it is considered as the poorest Arabic country. Yemen is now The Republic of Yemen because of the reunification made on 22nd May 1990. Before that day Yemen was divided into two separate countries , the first known as the North Yemen Republic which was controlled by tribes so far the worst tribal system in the world , on the other side , the Yemen of the South known as the world’s worst communist regime. But in 1994 , a civil war turned the south and the north against each other. We are going to study this

All these important questions about terror and insecurity are a considerable part of the subject of international politics. In this regard, scholars have dedicated decades for understanding the relations between states in political, economic, social, and other

The main IGO that took part in the Yemen conflict was the Arab League. During the Yemen civil war that took place between 1962 and 1970, the Arab League was made up of six member states that included Yemen, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Jordan. However, the Arab League was later expanded to include twenty two member states. The role played by the Arab League during the Civil war in Yemen, is evident from the roles in which the individual members of this union played in order to further its interests. Egypt was known as the United Arab Republic during this conflict and it had good relations with Yemen. In 1958, Yemen joined Egypt and Syria and the resulting union was known as the United Arab State. However, this union did not last for

Differing accounts on either pole focus on al-Qaeda’s continued relevance as the premier terrorist network, whether it is any longer effective or not. From there, the natural conclusion comes around to asking how effective al-Qaeda is, and by which mechanisms does it project that effectiveness. Aside from this, both parties agree that al-Qaeda has an uncanny habit of surviving in the turbulent international dialectic that spawned radical Muslim distress, vicariously.
