- Abstract
- This article analyses the causes of political crisis in Yemen that took place in 2011-2012. In the author’s opinion, the crisis was mainly caused by the aggravation of social and economic problems such as demographic explosion and increasing unemployment in Yemen. As the political power is actually controlled by the Hashid tribes’ confederation, the relations between the diverse Yemeni tribes grew worse. However, differences between two Islamic confessions presented in Yemen are not the core reason of growing political disturbances. The latters are promoted mainly by branches of al-Qaeda which have lately intensified their activity in the Arabian Peninsula.
