Assess The Role Of The Arab League During The Yemen Civil War

Throughout American history wars have played a huge part. From the start of the country to the present wars have played a lagrge part in shaping America into the national power that it is today. Not only is America the most pwerful nation in thwe world but it is also the policeman for the entire world, making and checking up on the world and all the interactions of foreign countries worldwide. Being born in born in the early eighties prohibitied me from experiencing many of the Americas war firsthand. This however changed early in the 1990's.

The country of Yemen is made up of several cultural and economic zones; The Tihama, the highlands in the west, the central mountains, the high plateau in the east and the Gulf of Aden coastal plains. The majority of the population is ethnically Arab and is divided between the Shi’a Muslims and Sunni Muslims with a small combination of Jewish, Hindus and Christians. In late 1949 and early 1950, approximately 50,000 Yemeni Jews left Yemen for Israel to be in the “Holy Land”. The birth rate of Yemen is high and almost half of their population is under the age of fifteen years old and the infant death rate is high, and migration is why the growth rate is limited. The language of the Yemenis is Arabic, but have many different dialects depending

The war began when Muslim fundamentalist became unhappy with the Addis Ababa Agreement and in 1983. President Gaafar Nimeiry declared sudan an Islamic state including south sudan. Obviously some people were not pleased specifically south sudan. This caused rebel armies to form fighting the government of sudan. John Garang leading the SPLA (Sudan people's liberation army) fought the central government from a headquarters in southern sudan. Rights of non-Muslims were not protected as promised and later in 1992 SPLA headquarters was captured in Torti by government forces. As the war continued the Sudan government and the rebels attacked and raided villages in Sudan. Later in 1995 many rebel groups from all over sudan came together to form the NDA (National Democratic Alliance). A peace treaty was formed in 2005 to make South Sudan independent in six years but for now they had complete autonomy. A few other agreements were as follows: Oil revenues and Jobs were split equally, also Islamic laws were kept only to the north.

Wars have been apart of this world almost as long as anything else has. Even in the Bible days there are records of wars. There are many reasons that states choose to go to war. Sometimes it is for the expansion of a nation or state, other times it is for financial gains, and it also could be for security or defense purposes. Whatever the case may be, wars have been apart of human life and will always be. There were no differences when it came to the Persian Gulf War. This war involved the United States, Iraq, and Kuwait. When trying to determine the purpose behind this war I chose to view it from a comparison of both the realist and liberalist views on the war.

“a really, really tough case” that defies historical parallels. Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War refers to political, military and operational support to parties involved in the ongoing conflict in Syria that began in March 2011, as well as active foreign involvement. Most parties involved in the war in Syria receive various types of support from foreign countries and entities based outside Syria. The ongoing conflict in Syria is widely described as a series of overlapping wars between the regional and world powers, primarily between the U.S. and Russia as well as between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

The Persian Gulf War all started because of one country’s greed for oil. Iraq accused Kuwait of pumping oil and not sharing the benfits, and Kuwait was pumping more oil than allowed under quotas set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, it decreased the price of oil, Iraq's main export. Iraq's complaints against Kuwait grew more and more harsh, but they were mostly about money. When Iraqi forces began to assemble near the Kuwaiti border in the summer of 1990, several Arab states tried to intervene the dispute. Kuwait didn’t want to look weak so they didn’t ask for any help from the United States or other non-Arab powers for support. Arab mediators convinced Iraq and Kuwait to negotiate their differences in Saudi Arabia, on

The Gulf War was much more than a fight to liberate Kuwait. It was the first non-conventional war; in which new, fairly new, or even experimental weapons were used. The Gulf War displayed much new technology that you will learn lots about in this paper. This paper may sound very technical, but that is what it is about, the new weapon technology vs. the conventional types of weapons used in previous wars. This paper is about the advancement of weapon technology, and how the military changed the tactics used before.

Syria is currently all over the news regarding what many have to come to see as a civil war. A term like civil war needs to identify the players and the reasons for the war. In this case the players are being identified as pro government or antigovernment with a Sunni or Shia overtone. Sunni and Shia are the two major sects of Islam and both have a historical based conflict going back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad and how Muslims should be governed. This conflict has caused tensions and violence to flare up throughout Islamic history. This conflict has carried into modern times and has becoming a rallying point for Muslim people calling for change with their government and across the Middle Eastern region. The

In 2013 in an unprecedented act, Saudi Arabia turned down a seat at the most influential table in the world, the UN Security Council. Saudi officials cited the international community’s lack of action in Syria as one of the reasons why they felt the need to make a stand by not accepting the coveted seat. Largely, Saudi Arabia blames Russia and China for protecting Assad from UN sanctions with their veto power that they have because they are two of the five permanent security council members along with the U.S., the UK, and France (McDowall, 2013).

Since Yemen was already considered a poor country, the conflict between the Republic of Yemen Government and the Houthi rebels made matters worse. This led to Saudi Arabia contributing to controversial air strikes with the intention to help reinstate President Hadi’s position in the government, which in-turn is responsible for a great portion of civilian deaths. Having the US involved to peacefully put an end to the war would help save many civilian lives. By doing so, the crises in Yemen can be resolved adequately, and allow for the nation to prosper and grow once more. The Republic of Yemen Government and Houthi rebels must come to a ceasefire and truce, but this may only be reached by the assistance of the United

So in both countries citizens can influence the political system even though their security might be threatened. The difference is that in Syria it happens within and outside the country whereas in Saudi Arabia it only happens from outside.

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

The Syrian Arab Republic is an Arab country in Western Asia, bordering Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the West, Turkey to the North, Iraq to the East, Jordan to the South, and Israel to the Southwest. In March 2011, the Syria conflict has begun due to various reasons and is still going on today. This outbreak is one of the key factors which resulted the Arab Spring (Arab Uprising). Arab Spring refers to the democratic uprisings that arose independently and spread across the Arab world in 2011. The protest originated in Tunisia in December 2010 and quickly took hold in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. In these countries, the citizens intiatied the protests as the ruling families have been
