‘The increased violence in Yemen is a clear
indication that military campaigns to crush al-Qaeda-inspired violence
extend far beyond the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan. It also
shows up hostile fault-lines within the Middle East, pitting mainly
Shia Iran against Sunni Saudi Arabia, who condemn each other for taking
sides in Yemen’s long-running civil war. Yemen is one of the
poorest countries in the Arab world with almost half its 24 million
people living below the poverty line and an authoritarian government
that has failed to win the trust of a substantive part of its own
population.’
