Yemen Research Paper

The Mecca: The Mecca was a huge area that was used for commerce in the Arabian community.

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

In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is the largest arid country (Al-Ibrahim, 1991). The country covers some 80 percent of the Arabian Peninsula (Al-Hamzi, 1992). The area of Saudi Arabia is 2.25 million square kilometers, equivalent (1.4) million square miles (Batayneh, 2012). The total number population in Saudi Arabia is 25.7 million (Al-Shayaa et al., 2012). Saudi Arabia climate is broiling in the summer and chilly in the winter, and Saudi Arabia does not have well-defined season. In addition, Saudi Arabia is waterless country, and it does not have rivers or lakes (Al-Shayaa et al., 2012).

Before the prophet Muhammad cultivated the religion of Islam, Arabia was a center of trade. Being the home of various clans and tribes, there would be feuds along the Arabian Peninsula over their opposing beliefs. Along with the blood feuds among the nomadic tribes, there was also village-based agriculture which benefited flourishing small kingdoms. Being located in the crossing point for many trade routes, Arabia also gave rise to many cosmopolitan cities. Arabia before Muhammad differs, from Arabia after Muhammad’s discoveries because of the decrease in battles around neighboring people. When Islam was made present, it unified the Afro-Eurasian world which caused the world to be more peaceful and rose the social standing of Arabia.

We touched down in Aden this morning and I have found it so far to be a bustling coastal city which has more similarities to home then I thought it would be. The things I’ve seen through the media paint the middle east as a worn torn area full of only crumbling buildings and dry farmland. Flying above this city I honestly thought I could be somewhere along the Californian coast or somewhere like that. I’m sure that there are areas like (that which I will see when I am out in the field), and that they make up a majority of the country but it reminded me of how much of what we see and hear about the Arab world is negative and we are rarely subject to the beauty and the other positives contained in this part of the world. I start at the hospital tomorrow and am out in the field next week so I am sure I will have more to say about this so far beautiful country

Volunteers will be invited to find on the map the current name of the country – Saudi Arabia and its neighboring countries and present some facts about the country if known to them form the geography class (5 min).

Due to the recent crises caused by the conflict in Syria, more than four million refugees have fled that region of the

This makes a good point as CNN has said, “Since the Cato Institute analysis was published in September 2016, a Somalian refugee injured 13 people at Ohio State University in November in what officials investigated as a terrorist attack. “ Although there have been a few terror attacks from Muslim refugees, there are far more innocent people such as families with young children suffering from terror attacks, starvation, and homelessness in their countries According to the United Nations, "the largest humanitarian crisis was in Yemen where two-thirds of the population — 18.8 million people — need aid and more than seven million people are hungry and did not know where their next meal would come from.” This shows that even though a few terrorists are refugees coming from Yemen, the majority of the population is in a major crisis, and desperately need help.

According to Dr. Bacevich, “The Greater Middle East was to serve—indeed, was even then already serving—as the chosen arena for honing military power into a utensil that would maintain America’s privileged position and, not so incidentally, provide a continuing rationale for the entire apparatus of national security.” However, rather than helping either the Middle East or America, this approach has actually caused a great amount of harm and only creates more dictators, internal strife, and terrorist groups. The interests of the United States and the Islamic World have never aligned and the Middle East is resistant to shaping.

In early AB in Arabia they have a very complex and strange way to govern themselves. One of the very good examples are that women had few to no rights at all. Plus everyone thinks that the all mighty Muhammad Is the leader and founder of the Muslim group and most of Arabia fallow Muhammad. There is also no presence of the political group and that the religion group Muslim the power in Arabia. In the early ADs Arabia how a difficult government and still has one today with most of the people being Muslim.

The region of the Middle East and its inhabitants have always been a wonder to the Europeans, dating back to the years before the advent of Islam and the years following the Arab conquest. Today, the Islamic world spreads from the corners of the Philippines to the far edges of Spain and Central Africa. Various cultures have adopted the Islamic faith, and this blending of many different cultures has strengthened the universal Islamic culture. The religion of Islam has provided a new meaning to the lives of many people around the world. In the Islamic world, the religion defines and enriches culture and as a result the culture gives meaning to the individual. Islam is not only a religion, it is in its own way a culture. It may be this very

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 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

     In the heart of the Middle East is a country known by many Westerners for its oil production and, often, extremist beliefs of groups within the country. The country is Saudi Arabia, and though it is thought of by many as a rather backward country, Saudi Arabia has a rich history and culture, and it is a country that revolves around Islam and the worship of Allah as the one true God.

Only 18% of Muslims live in the Arab world; a fifth are found in Sub-Saharan Africa; and the world's largest Muslim community is in Indonesia.
