A local professor expresses his thoughts on Yemen
"Chaos is possible. I cannot deny it. But it is not inevitable. It is also quite possible that Saleh’s departure would result in substantial improvement. Let’s look at a few key issues in Yemen:
"A democratic Yemeni government may actually be in a better position to crack down on it (AL Qaeda) than Saleh, who has been increasingly preoccupied by the rise of other internal opponents.
I, for one, believe that the Yemeni situation is more likely to improve if Saleh leaves office now. While Yemen has been afflicted with many conflicts, it also has a strong tradition of successful internal conflict resolution - as occurred at the end of the 1962-70 North Yemeni civil war and the elaborate agreements on unification between North and South that resulted in unification in 1990 (and which Saleh subsequently reneged on)." more on yemen by Mark N.
