Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The President of the Yemen Arab Republic was the head of state of that country in what is now northern Yemen. There were 6 Presidents of North Yemen. The Yemen Arab Republic (YAR), also known as North Yemen or Yemen (Sanaa), was a country from 1962 to 1990 in the northern part of what is now Yemen. Its capital was at Sanaa. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, northern Yemen became an independent state as the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. On 27 September 1962, revolutionaries inspired by the Arab nationalist ideology of United Arab Republic (Egyptian) President Gamal Abdul Nasser deposed the newly-crowned King Muhammad al-Badr, took control of Sanaa, and established the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR). This coup d'état marked the beginning of the North Yemen Civil War that pitted YAR troops assisted by the United Arab Republic (Egypt) while Saudi Arabia and Jordan supported Badr's royalist forces opposing the newly formed republic. ...

Product Description
Yemen faces a complex and dangerous mix of security problems. Its fiercely independent tribes have longbeen considered an important breeding ground for Al Qaeda Islamic extremists, and North Yemen is theancestral homeland of Osama Bin Laden. A separate Shiite rebellion has dominated the northwest withalleged support from Iran - a ceasefire was implemented in mid-2007 but remains rather fragile.

Separately, there are still tensions between North and South that can be traced back to the brief civil warof 1994. Tribesmen also seek to resolve a variety of local disputes over water, roads and electricitysupplies among other things by kidnapping foreign tourists and negotiating for the their release. Inaddition there is a very large supply of weaponry in the country and scant regard for central authority.

And while all this could be described as a security nightmare, the country in other respects has certainstrengths. Since 9/11, Yemen has become a close ally in the US government’s ‘war on terror’. Andalthough subject to authoritarian rule, in some respects Yemen offers greater political freedoms thanmany other Arab governments. A key figure in Yemen’s balancing act is of course President Ali AbdullahSaleh. In 2007 his grip on power seemed as tight as ever. Calls for his departure were limited - much ofthe public fears that the country could revert into disorder should President Saleh step down.

Yemen now enjoys relatively stable relations with its neighbours following a decade of tensions overseveral bilateral territorial disputes, primarily with Saudi Arabia, and Riyadh is now supportive of thepresidency in Sana’a. However, some security challenges are presented by internal instability in the postunificationperiod. The military remains a favoured recipient of government investment, andprocurements for all three branches of the armed forces continue despite overwhelming budget constraintsand a lack of trained personnel to use the equipment. It is likely that Yemen will maintain its militarystrength and seek to further modernise specific sectors of its military to respond to new or existingterrorist threats. Yemen is completely dependent upon foreign procurements, as it enjoys no indigenousdefence industry. Yemen’s total dependence on the procurement of foreign produced arms forces thegovernment to depend on a brisk arms trade, although not so brisk as some of its neighbours. Historically,Yemen has acquired Russian and ex-Soviet bloc states for military equipment, but recent signs suggestthat Sana’a is seeking to diversify. The September 2004 lifting of a US arms embargo on Yemen hasallowed entry for US firms into the Yemeni market. However, given budgetary restrictions, procurementshave not yet taken place.

Sana’a is stabile for the time being but is under immense financial restraints. Oil production only began inYemen in the 1990s and, while average incomes rose as a result, the industry only employs a smallpercentage of the workforce and has not succeeded in generating substantial wealth. However, Yemenmaintains a high level of military expenditure relative to GDP. In 2005, Yemen spent approximately 7.5%of its GDP on the military. This trend is unlikely to change. ... Read more

Product Description
This book analyzes the formal and the informal structures of the Yemeni political system, in their constitutional, legal, and practical manifestations. The underpinning goal of such an endeavor is to assess the extent to which the system guarantees, and allows citizens to exercise and develop political citizenship rights as voters, candidates, or as influential participants in public policy making. Especial attention is paid to the question of whether political arrangements fulfill the conditions of accountability and mutual control among the three branches of government—the executive, legislative, and the judiciary. To rigorously evaluate the status of political citizenship in Yemen, the study relies not only on the analysis of the political system, but it also employs some common international measures of political rights, democracy, and transformation. While the study focuses on Yemen, the general model reflected is shared by most Arab countries. This book is written for general audience and it is recommended for those with interest in Middle Eastern politics, Arab politics, politics of developing nations, and politics of citizenship. ...
