What Is The Second Order Effect Of The Yemen Current Events?

Throughout history, our world has constantly been bruised and battered by civil turmoil. Today, the civil war in Syria decimates the country; the Israeli and Palestinian conflict rages on; tens of thousands of people have been killed in South Sudan's ongoing civil war. It is not always easy to isolate what exactly ignites the flames of war, but, whenever possible, finding a workable, calm and satisfying solution to a potential uprising is preferable.

The Middle East has recently been the topic of many news sources as there is so much uncertainty in the region today. Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria are all having problems and they continue to worry the outside world. Saudi Arabia has recently put King Salman in power, following the death of his half-brother, and with the current economy in the Middle East, a state that possess so much influence in an already unstable region, to become unstable in itself may cause significant catastrophes (Botelho). Yemen is also in turmoil with its own current problems. “[The United States] does not even know who is in charge right now. We know that rebels have moved in, they have exerted tremendous influence, and we can’t say exactly who will be in charge there in the future” (Botelho). With rebels moving in, the United States also fears of the fact that Yemen has been known as a source of terrorism (Botelho). Along with the other problems, in 2011, President Obama’s agenda was enforced and the United States pulled all troops

North Yemen was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1918. Originally north Yemen was under the control of the Mamluks, an Arabian army that controlled much of Assibia from 1250-1517, but in 1515 it was gifted to the Ottoman empire of which it stayed a part until 1918 (The Ottomans...). During the time between the 1500’s and 1918, the Ottoman Empire had varying degrees of influence

The Haqqani network uses bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations as their methods of attack. However, the Haqqani network is shifting from direct attacks and use of suicide bombers due to ineffectiveness on their targets. The main effort now is to destabilize the governing power, and prevent reconstruction. “Haqqani fighters are attempting to destabilize governance and reconstruction efforts from the inside while continuing to operate on the periphery and around

The country of Yemen name is derived from a legendary ancestor named Yaman, the son of Qahtan. The official name of this country in present day is called the Republic of Yemen. A sign of Yemen early civilizations date back to (1200-650 B.C.) during this time Yemen was under control of the Minaean kingdom. Known as one of the first places to have human population the land of Yemen has always been under control of other successful civilizations. This country’s geographic location has lead to many conflicts from merging into one Republic, to being at war with Yemen rebels while trying to regain control of the government.

The borders of Somaliland are far from well defined. Puntland firmly believes that Somaliland has far less territory than Somaliland claims. In particular the areas of Sool and Eastern Sanaag are under contest by both governments. “Sool and Eastern Sanaag are claimed by both Puntland and Somaliland, and it seems that neither regional administration is willing to back down.” (World Bank, 2005) and even the people within these regions do not have a position on who they ally to. “The people of Sool and Eastern Sanaag, who have suffered greatly from this struggle, do not have a uniform position and are divided in their loyalties.” (World Bank, 2005) The two governments have even fought scrimmages over the territories before. Fighting between the militaries of each region has erupted several times between 2002 and 2009. An official separation of the two regions could turn these scrimmages into all-out

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

When the Egyptian Revolution transpired in 2011, Medvedev called Mubarak to communicate his hope that tensions would be resolved peacefully and, more saliently, stressed the urgency of ensuring security for the Russian Embassy in Cairo and Russians living in Egypt (Reuters). Only after Morsi’s ousting did relations, particularly military and economic cooperation, between Egypt and Russia strengthen (Nashashibi); in fact, Putin and el-Sisi had met prior to Morsi’s ousting (Al-Jazeera). With Yemen, Russia has been calling for a military ceasefire, but is not nearly as invested in the crisis as Saudi Arabia or the United States is (Lauria). Russia’s major intervention has been in Syria, where it openly stations military assets, built a permanent airbase, and sends attack helicopters against rebel forces. Russia’s exceptionally active backing of Assad’s regime has clear potential impact on the likelihood of military defection. The economic and military resources at Russia’s disposal and that it supplies to the Syrian government consolidate the Assad administration, allowing it to withstand uprisings in ways that Mubarak and Saleh were unable to. This understanding provides little incentive for military officials to defect, since they recognize that coup attempts will likely be quashed by the combined power of Russian and loyalist Syrian forces. Russia’s support makes overcoming opposition and winning the war seem

In the aftermath of battling a two-decade civil war, South Sudan has ultimately seceded from its former country, Sudan, in the year of 2011. Following its independence, South Sudan attempted to fabricate a modern governmental system in hopes of terminating its authoritarian past. Although South Sudan strived to follow a democratic reform, their system, however, was structured in a manner that failed to resolve both social and economical disputes. The dissimilarities between major ethnic groups, a lack of education, and the halt in oil production made it difficult for South Sudan to flourish as a unified nation. Therefore, considering these issues, the United Nations Special Task Force on South Sudan, has made recommendations that

The impacts of civil wars and internal conflict changed the form of living in the country. The region has been negatively affected by two civil wars since Sudanese independence during 1955-2005.

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

While still struggling to achieve peace with Sudan since its independence in 2011, South Sudan is now rife with inner-conflict. Rebel forces led by the former Vice-President Riek Machar want to overthrow the South Sudanese government, led by President Salva Kiir.

The Yemen Civil war (1962-1970) caused unrest in the Middle East. Royalist fighters disputed with Republicans for control of North Yemen (South Yemen was controlled by Great Britain until 1967). Ahmad bin Yahya, the ruling imam in North Yemen, had a vision of uniting all of Yemen to create one large nation, but he couldn 't get enough support to make

The Yemen Civil war began in 2015 as a result of a failed transition of power in 2011. Since the collapse of the government, violence, famine, and disease have plagued Yemen. However, amongst all the turmoil a small beacon of hope seems to be emerging within Marib according to Ben Hubbard’s article, “As Yemen Crumbles, One Town Is an Island of Relative Calm”. The article attempts to demonstrate “the potential for development in Yemen when basic security can be provided”. In short, basic security is a necessity for progress. While not yet ideal, as Marib’s lack of sufficient security prevented Hubbard from “roaming freely”, Marib has nevertheless been able to attract 73,000 people who were displaced in other parts of Yemen over the past few

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
