Lecture # 64 yemen crisis explained
Yemen has faced political instability and conflict in recent years. The country was previously divided into northern and southern regions but unified in 1990. Southerners later complained of marginalization, fighting a civil war in 1994. Currently, Iran-backed Houthi rebels have expanded their control, opposing the government of President Hadi. A Saudi-led coalition supports Hadi and has carried out airstrikes against the Houthis. India has evacuated over 2,000 citizens from Yemen since the conflict began.
The Yemen Crisis (1)
The Houthis began as a religious group in the 1990s but have since become rebels engaged in an ongoing conflict with the Yemen government. They have taken control of the capital Sanaa and large swaths of the country. Other competitors in the war include Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Al-Islah political movement, and the secessionist Al-Hirak movement in Southern Yemen. The U.S. is involved due to threats from Al-Qaeda affiliates in Yemen. The first war between Yemen and the Houthis erupted in 2004. The Houthis have demanded fuel subsidies be reinstated and that the government reflect political groups' representation from a national conference. Saudi Arabia led an Arab coalition
The Yemen War
Yemen has been devastated by a war between Houthi rebels and forces loyal to the Yemeni government since 2015. Over 7,600 people have been killed and 42,000 injured in the ongoing conflict, which has triggered a major humanitarian crisis leaving 70% of Yemen's population of 24 million in need of aid. The capital and largest city is Sanaa, and Islam is the dominant religion, though there are small Christian and Jewish populations.
The Nature of Conflict in Yemen
The document summarizes the key events in Yemen's recent political conflict and transition. It outlines periods from 2000-2015 where Al-Qaeda gained prominence and carried out attacks; protests in 2011 inspired by Tunisia led to a power transfer; and a critical transition phase from 2013-2014 saw Houthi rebels overrun the capital and plunge the country into civil war, prompting military intervention by a Saudi-led coalition to stop the Houthis from gaining more ground. The document also lists the main players involved as the Republic of Yemen, Houthis, Islamic State, UK, US, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Spain.
Yemen's Power Struggles
The document summarizes the civil war in Yemen, identifying the key players and Saudi Arabia's interests. The Houthi movement called Ansar Allah has gained territory, causing Saudi Arabia to form a coalition to counter Iranian influence. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula also operates in Yemen and has expanded in the chaos. The civil war is a proxy conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran for regional influence, and as the Houthis and coalition battle, AQAP strengthens its control.
The Middle East Cold War

Understanding the past proxies is relevant to the recent unrest in the Middle East, which is often mischaracterized as a purely sectarian conflict. While clearly there is a sectarian component to ongoing unrest in the region, the conflicts, both latent and manifest within Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen are often reported as a struggle between opposing religious sects - Sunnis and Shiites. However, according to F. Gregory Gause of the Brookings Institution, the best way to understand regional politics and the current unrest in the Middle East is through a Cold War framework between Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Iran where the central issue is that of regional hegemony.
Yemen conflict
The document provides a historical overview of Yemen, including its division into North and South Yemen until unification in 1990, as well as more recent conflicts. It describes the Houthi insurgency beginning in 2004 and their eventual takeover of the capital Sanaa in 2014. It outlines the resignation of President Hadi in 2015 and the Saudi-led military intervention against the Houthis.
Syrian Civil War - History and Background
Ottoman rule over Syria ended in 1918 and Emir Feisal briefly ruled as King of Syria until 1920 when France took control under a mandate. French rule faced nationalist uprisings and protests for independence which Syria achieved in 1946. However, political instability continued and Hafez al-Assad seized power in 1970, establishing an authoritarian Ba'athist regime that favored the Alawite minority. When Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father in 2000, he initially allowed some reforms but soon returned to the repressive status quo. Anti-government protests in 2011 demanding democratic change and end to emergency law sparked a violent crackdown and eventual civil war as the opposition took up arms.

A terrifying terrorist!
The document discusses the history of conflict in the Middle East and the origins and progression of the War on Terror. It notes that the Middle East has had a long history of violence and wars over control of territory and oil. The War on Terror began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which prompted the U.S. to launch military campaigns against the Taliban in Afghanistan for harboring Al Qaeda and against Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq over suspected weapons programs. Both countries saw regime changes but terrorist attacks have continued in the region.

Global war on terror
This document provides an overview of terrorism and the global war on terror. It defines terrorism and discusses its origins and history. It outlines different types of terrorism such as civil, political, non-political, and state terrorism. It discusses major terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, and the Taliban. It also covers the 9/11 attacks and modern terrorism. Finally, it outlines the roles of different countries and organizations in the global war on terror, including the US, UN, NATO, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
ISIS originated in 2004 as Al Qaeda in Iraq and rebranded as ISIS in 2013 after expanding into Syria. It gained strength after the US withdrawal from Iraq and amidst sectarian conflict, capturing territory in Iraq and Syria. ISIS generates revenue from oil, taxes, and other means to fund its goal of establishing a global caliphate through violent expansion and inspiring terrorist attacks abroad. A US-led international coalition has made gains against ISIS but it remains a threat through physical territory and online recruitment for lone wolf attacks in line with its extremist ideology.
Middle East in Transition - Lesson 1 - US Interests in the Middle East
1. The United States has significant geostrategic interests in the Middle East due to its location along important trade routes and its large oil reserves. The U.S. seeks to ensure regional stability and prevent hostile powers from gaining control of the region.
2. U.S. involvement in the Middle East has grown since the early 20th century. A key goal of U.S. policy was originally to counter Soviet influence during the Cold War. More recently, concerns about weapons proliferation and human rights have also shaped U.S. strategy.
3. Support for Israel remains an important factor in U.S. Middle East policy due to historical, strategic and domestic political considerations. Ensuring secure oil supplies also remains
War on Terror: The United States' History in the Middle East
The United States' relationship with the Middle East has been shaped by centuries of religious, political, and military conflicts between Western and Islamic powers. Key events included the Crusades, the decline of the Ottoman Empire after WWI and the establishment of nation states, and the Arab-Israeli conflict over religious claims to Jerusalem and Israel. In the late 20th century, the U.S. supported anti-Soviet mujahideen in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war, angering Osama bin Laden. The 9/11 terrorist attacks prompted the U.S. to launch the War on Terror, beginning with the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. However, the legacy and outcomes of U
Crisis in Yemen
- President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen was wounded in a rocket attack on his compound in Sanaa, as government forces have been fighting tribal groups for nearly two weeks.
- Protests against Saleh's rule have been ongoing for four months, and government forces have opened fire on protesters multiple times, killing and wounding many.
- Islamist militants are taking advantage of the chaos to seize towns along Yemen's southern coast, threatening to plunge the country into civil war.
Origins of the War on Terror
The document provides background on the origins of the War on Terror leading up to 9/11. It discusses the Cold War between the US and USSR, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan which led to the US training mujahideen fighters like Osama Bin Laden. After the Soviets withdrew, Afghanistan descended into civil war. Bin Laden formed Al Qaeda and the Taliban rose to power in Afghanistan, hosting Al Qaeda training camps. Al Qaeda launched several attacks against US interests in the 1990s, leading up to the 9/11 attacks where they hijacked and crashed four planes in a coordinated terrorist attack that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Terrorism
Terrorism has existed throughout history and is defined as using violence and threats for political goals. Groups resort to terrorism due to economic, social, or religious inequities when they cannot achieve goals through traditional means. Notable examples of terrorism discussed include the 1972 Munich Olympics kidnapping, airline hijackings in the 1960s-1980s, and car bombings like the 1993 World Trade Center and 1995 Oklahoma City bombings. Suicide bombings are also commonly used. Afghanistan served as a base for terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda under the Taliban government. The September 11, 2001 attacks led the US to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, increasing security measures worldwide.
Media and politics conditions in jordan
Jordan is an Arab country located in West Asia, bordered by Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Palestine. Arabic is the official language. King Abdullah II is the monarch and supreme commander of the armed forces. There is great anger in Jordan against ISIL after the militant group executed a Jordanian pilot. Jordan also chairs meetings of the UN Security Council and Prince Ali is running for president of FIFA.
The US and the Middle East issues
The US presence in the Middle East can be explained to the fact that it always defends its interets in the region. For, that reason, the US uses divergent means and methods to achieve its ends.

Middle east politics
This document discusses several topics related to politics in the Middle East:
1) It provides a chronological overview of several major crises in Middle East history from 1946 to the present.
2) It explains why the Middle East is geopolitically significant due to its strategic location between Asia, Africa and Europe as well as its oil resources and proximity to the former Soviet Union.
3) It notes that religious conflicts and the potential for nuclear threats are ongoing issues in the region due to tensions between Israel and neighboring Arab countries as well as the conflict between Iran and the United States.
Middle east ppt2[1]
The document provides an overview of the Middle East 7th grade social studies curriculum, including units on the causes of conflicts in the Middle East, ancient civilizations, and case studies on ongoing conflicts in Israel, Afghanistan, and Iran. It discusses the historical roots and religious/cultural factors contributing to tensions, as well as some attempts at peacemaking and possible solutions.
U.S. Policies That Shape The Middle East Powerpoint2
- There are many terrorist groups based in the Middle East due to longstanding grievances against Western influence and support for authoritarian regimes in the region. These groups aim to force Western powers like the US to withdraw military and political support.
- The US is targeted by terrorist groups because it is seen as propping up regimes for its own interests like oil rather than promoting democracy. Groups want the US to remove influence and troops from the Middle East.
- While the US has had some successes like removing Saddam Hussein, the war on terror continues with ongoing instability, the threat of new terrorist groups, and mixed perceptions of US involvement in the region. There is no definitive answer to stopping international terrorism.
Transnational terrorism
Transnational terrorism involves violence by internationally-linked groups across borders to cause psychological and economic impact. Al-Qaeda is a prominent example, founded by Osama bin Laden in 1989 to create a global Islamic caliphate and rid Western influence. Al-Qaeda operates through a network of affiliated terrorist organizations worldwide that share resources to plan and carry out attacks. The September 11, 2001 attacks demonstrated Al-Qaeda's deadly capabilities. In response, counterterrorism efforts have tightened security, increased intelligence sharing between countries, and sought to address the root causes that terrorists exploit to spread their radical ideology.
Iraq war 2
1. After 9/11, President Bush decided to preemptively attack Iraq before they could help al Qaeda launch another attack on the US, though Iraq had no involvement in 9/11.
2. The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was based on faulty intelligence that Iraq possessed WMDs, though none were found.
3. By 2008, violence in Iraq had decreased significantly from its peak a few years prior, but the situation remained fragile. US troops aimed to train Iraqi forces to defend themselves so US troops could eventually withdraw.
2015 03-03 CTP Update and Assessment
CTP’s Threat Update series is a weekly update and assessment of Iran and the al Qaeda network. CTP’s Iran team follows developments on the internal politics, nuclear negotiations, and regional conflicts closely. The al Qaeda network update includes detailed assessments of al Qaeda’s affiliates in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, and the Maghreb and Sahel.
Below are the top three takeaways from the week:
1. Two rival governments appear to be emerging in Yemen – one based in Sana’a and controlled by the al Houthis and the other based in Aden under former President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi. President Hadi, however, will likely have to contend with Southern Movement factions who reject his presence in southern Yemen.
2. The IRGC Great Prophet 9 military exercises reinforced the Supreme Leader’s December 1 call to enhance Iran’s military capabilities “irrespective” of the nuclear negotiations. The operational framework of the military drills, moreover, seemed to be aimed at deterring a potential attack, in the event that Tehran and the P5+1 fail to reach a final deal.
3. Violent clashes between Somali security forces and Ahlu Sunna wa al Jama’a (ASWJ) militias in central Somalia risk undermining the Somali government’s ability to combat al Shabaab, potentially allowing the al Qaeda affiliate to regain territory in the region.
