Yemen National Strategy to Combat Global Terrorism

Abstract

The recent terrorists' acts committed in the Republic of Yemen present a dangerous challenge to the government. The terrorists plan to shake up the pillars of security, stability, and social peace. The terrorists intended to place Yemen among the areas targeted in the world's fight against terrorism. The Republic of Yemen, a member of the international community and the United Nations, denounces and rejects terrorism; and has a national strategy to combat it. Terrorism is alien to Muslim Yemen, society and contradicts its deeply-rooted and noble traditions and values. This paper discusses the history of terrorism in Yemen and examines the national strategy to address it. This examination concludes that the Republic of Yemen has the will and a viable strategy but requires international resources to combat terrorism.
