Yemen. The revolutionary turning point

Abstract

‘pbCoédée Karthala — CEFAS.’/PB ‘Saudi Arabia’, ‘homeland of Ben Laden’, ‘Kingdom of Saba Queen’, ‘sixty million countries’: the clichés on Yemen stand out. The most populous country on the Arab Peninsula, the only republic in this region of the world, does not lack singularity and continues to be subject to both fantasy and ignorance. The revolutionary uprising in the country since January 2011, which formally ended the 33-year rule of Ali Abdullah Saleh rebat in numerous maps and encouraged the emergence of new dynamics. However, it is part of a series of deep political and social processes that have developed over the last decade. The diversity of the political, economic, demographic and environmental challenges facing Yemen, as well as the vitality of its society, call for a nuanced reading. The Saada war between the Yemeni army and its allies against al-Hûthi supporters since 2 004, as well as the sudist movement that has agged the regions of former South Yemen since 2007, as well as the intensification of al-Qaida related activities, have been increasing sources of insecurity for Yemenis, who are victims of the authorities’ repressive policy. These conflicts have also given rise to persistent tensions between the government and opposition parties, which have tried to counter the autocratic tendencies of the regime and to act as spokespersons for popular discontent. Through a multidisciplinary approach led by a team of researchers in direct contact with the field, it provides various analyses and insights into the new fractures, changes, recompositions and dynamics that characterise Yemeni society, which is now engaged in a revolutionary turning point.’/PB
