Home Country Analysis Briefs Yemen Country Analysis Brief PDF version PDB version July 2004 Background Oil Natural Gas Electricity ... Links Yemen Yemen, a small non-OPEC oil producer, is important to world energy markets because of its oil and natural gas resources and strategic location on the Bab el-Mandab strait, one of the world's most active shipping lanes. Note: The information contained in this report is the best available as of July 2004 and may change. GENERAL BACKGROUND Security remains a concern of foreign firms doing business in Yemen, particularly after the French-flagged oil tanker Limburg was attacked off the coast of Yemen on October 6, 2002. Kidnappings of foreigners, including oil workers, have been a problem. There have also been periodic attacks on an oil pipeline in the Marib region of eastern Yemen, which is operated by U.S.-based Hunt Oil. The Canadian oil company Nexen, which operates the Ash Shihr/Al Mukalla oil export terminal, agreed in January 2003 to provide assistance to the Yemeni government in improving security. Political stability in Yemen is critically important to regional oil producers. Yemen sits on the entrance to the

Yemen Is Yemen a haven for terrorism? Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden. U.S. officials say more al-Qaeda attacks against American interests may now be brewing in Yemen. Which sorts of terrorists operate in Yemen? Cole , in which 17 U.S. sailors died and 39 were injured. Although al-Qaeda has not claimed responsibility for the attack, U.S. and Yemeni officials have found evidence linking the terror network to the Cole Since the bombing of the Cole , has al-Qaeda planned other attacks against targets in Yemen? How big an al-Qaeda presence is there in Yemen? Does al-Qaeda have training camps in Yemen? Al-Qaeda reportedly had several major training camps in Yemen until the late 1990s, when the Yemeni government uprooted them. U.S. officials say there may be a few smaller ones left. Is kidnapping a problem in Yemen? Are terrorists from other countries welcome in Yemen? What are U.S.-Yemeni relations like? Friendly, more or less. The Republic of Yemen, which was formed in 1990 when the Soviet-supported south merged with the Arab republic in the north, supported Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War, which led President George H. W. Bush to curtail diplomatic ties and aid programs. But by the end of the 1990s, Yemen had improved its relations with the United States and was letting U.S. naval ships such as the Cole refuel there.

We've lost about 19 of our soldiers basically because they didn't have bullet-proof vests Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi The United States has begun to look beyond Afghanistan in the fight against al-Qaeda and much of the attention is being focused on countries like Yemen - a poor, mountainous nation on the tip of the Arabian Peninsula where militants have been able to hide. The Yemeni Government says it has arrested two al-Qaeda militants named by the US, but that another three men on Washington's wanted list remain at large. It has not been easy for Yemen to make arrests because the suspects enjoy the protection of powerful tribes who are armed and rarely take much notice of government orders.

Yemen is tight-lipped about its military co-operation with America In the mountains of Yemen we were taken to a secret training base, where US special forces train Yemen's counter-terrorist troops to hunt down al-Qaeda. Even most of the Yemeni Government does not know where it is. This military co-operation with America is highly sensitive here. They told us no journalist has seen it before. Yemen has a problem with Al-Qaeda terror cells, but it is dealing with it. The Yemeni special forces have already carried out surveillance, dawn raids and arrests. They now have the skills to catch al-Qaeda suspects.

Under the constitution, an elected president, an elected 301-seat House of Representatives, and an appointed 111-member Shura Council share power. The president is head of state, and the prime minister is head of government. The constitution provides that the president be elected by popular vote from at least two candidates endorsed by Parliament; the prime minister is appointed by the president. The presidential term of office is 7 years, and the parliamentary term of elected office is 6 years. Suffrage is universal over 18. President Ali Abdullah Saleh was elected in 1999; the next presidential electionsare scheduled for 2006. In April 2003 parliamentary elections, the General People's Congress (GPC) maintained an absolute majority. International observers judged elections to be generally free and fair, and there was a marked decrease from previous years in election-related violence; however, there were some problems with underage voting, confiscation of ballot boxes, voter intimidation, and election-related violence. The constitution calls for an independent judiciary. The former northern and southern legal codes have been unified. The legal system includes separate commercial courts and a Supreme Court based in Sanaa.

According to news reports from Arab television channels and online newspapers, the 13 Yemenis died during protests by thousands of demonstrators angry over the doubling of gas prices in the poverty-stricken country, which is trying to secure new loans. Protestors clashed with the police in the capital of Sana'a and several towns as demonstrators chanted anti-government slogans, attacked government buildings and threw stones at police. The price increases were a severe blow for Yemenis, many of whom are already well below the poverty line. Located on the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen is one of the least developed countries in the world and ranks 149 out of 177 countries on the 2004 U.N. Development Programme Human Development Index. The land once known as the home of the Queen of Sheba now has a per capita Gross Domestic Product of 510 dollars a year, and 42 percent of its people live in poverty. One in five of Yemen's 21.5 million people is malnourished.

Katz 1/08/02 Print this article Email this article It must be emphasized, though, that no modern Yemeni government-northern, southern, or united-has been able to exercise authority easily outside the major cities. Yemen is a place where tribes are strong and well-armed in many parts of the country-especially the area around Marib. Before unification, the Marxist regime had ruled the South dictatorially. The North had been ruled by its army (in which Salih had been a senior officer both before and after he came to power) since 1974. Wishing to avoid the years of isolation Yemen experienced after expressing support for Saddam Hussein in 1990-91, President Salih has forthrightly condemned Islamic terrorist attacks against American targets. Although the American media reported that his government had not been as helpful as it could have been with the investigation into the attack on the USS Cole, Yemen was, in fact, highly cooperative. It gave approval to Washington to dispatch hundreds of investigators from the FBI and other agencies-despite warnings from the US Embassy in Sanaa that ordinary Yemenis would resent such a large American presence (which they did). By holding out the promise of democratization, President Salih raised expectations. By effectively not following through on this promise, he dashed those expectations. Over the same period, Salih and the United States have drawn closer together in an effort to combat terrorism. As a result, the United States is now seen by many Yemenis as an opponent of democratization in their country.

The selection of an anti-Syrian politician was the culmination of a half year of democratic agitation. In Egypt, too, popular pressure has forced President Hosni Mubarak to implement reforms. From Cairo to California, pundits seek to predict where the democratic wave will strike next. Many suggest it could reach Syria or Saudi Arabia. It may. But it is in Yemen where citizens and civil society alike are both impatient and ready for democracy. Uneasy over events in Lebanon and Egypt, Yemeni authorities have sought to convince diplomats and governments that they are committed to reform. They often point to the success of the reunification of North and South Yemen in 1990 as a sign of commitment to reform. Unification has been popular, but the bulk of its success occurred more than a decade ago. Yemeni journalists have taken the lead to transmit to Yemen's 20 million citizens the success of their Lebanese and Egyptian brothers. They juxtaposed the Lebanese revolution with their own authorities' unwillingness to address monopolization of power, corruption, illiteracy, poverty, and absence of justice and equality.
