Security and Economy Lowest in Decades
Opposition Hoping Ruling Party Political Failure

 
*
 Yemen Post Staff

Observing the Yemeni affairs, you will notice a wide deterioration on the security, political and economical levels. Over the last month and a half, Yemen witnessed an unprecedented rise in operations of disorders and infringements.
The current security crisis began with the raid launched against Mareb which led to the killing the deputy governor, Jaber Al-Shabwani.
It was followed by the attack on the political security building in Aden that led to killing 11 individuals and injuring many others. Then, artillery and military planes were used to launch operations against houses in the city of Dhali.
Another serious event occured when the armed conflict between the two tribes, Abeeda in Mareb province and Balhareth in Shabwa province was a reason for the death and injury of dozens. This conflict is taking place over oil fields, gas pipe lines and the electricity stations.
Chaos and protests rose in the provinces of Lahj and Al-Dhali, in addition to, cutting roads, seizing trucks and damaging the movement of trade and transportation in the provinces. So, not one day elapses without killing or injuring in Yemen, with the government having some sort of relation to the killing.
In the last few weeks, there were news of war and peace in Sa’ada. The state encourages a civil war in Sa’ada by arming the tribes and sheikhs. Even though the Houthis declared their acceptance regarding the six points, the two parties always seem blood thirsty.

The expansion of the security deterioration scope.. Aljawf and Shabwa
The conflict between Abeeda and Balhareth may lead to threatening the national unity, damage security, and even separation. It is a smaller version of war between north (Abeeda) and south (Balhareth).

Economic Crises
The economic deterioration is as bad as the security, as the two are main pillars in a stable country.
The rising of prices of oil and the closure of gas stations, the absence of diesel, rising gas prices, increase in electricity bills up to 50%, are among the many economic problems Yemenis had to face in the first six months of 2010 alone.

The crises of dialogue and elections
There is currently dialogue regarding elections, however, the Joint Meeting Parties (JMP) will most likely not participate in the elections, as they are hoping for complete political failure for the ruling party.
It is a matter of time when political crises will take place.

Sada’a between the acceptance of peace and preparation for war
Although, the declaration of stopping the war on 11 February took place, the news coming from Sada’a never indicates that the two parties are serious for peace.
The state called the sixth war the (Burnt Land) war and will be held responsible for its casualties in the future. The government with the help of Saudi war planes used military aircrafts and strong bombardment which led to killing a large number of civilians, most of them old men, women, children.
We can’t forget the wide displacement of citizens from Sa’ada that continues until today, estimated by official sources to be 300000.
4141 buildings were destroyed in the sixth Sa’ada war alone.

National security for Yemen and slow death
The national security in Yemen is deteriorating on all levels. It’s institutions and individuals are there to protect the country from foreign infiltration and spying against it. But, all these institutions were subject to aggressions including the political security attacks in Abyan last week and in Aden last month.
It seems that economical security will be lost from a long time.
Educational security, such as having the needed scientific specializations, and encouraging discoveries and inventions are totally absent, and are expected to be absent for decades to come.
The situation the country is witnessing is a slow death for Yemenis, and people have to choose one of three choices: revolution, immigration or death, as described by international studies.
