Pressure off the coast of al-Qaeda.

 the capital Sanaa has seen intense fighting between tribal fighters and these days the Yemen and for the wrong reasons issues unfortunately mainly security forces.

With the power drag slowly far President Ali Abdullah Saleh and armed clashes, killing dozens of people since Monday, there is concern that the country could disintegrate in a series of intertribal conflicts with repercussions throughout the region.

The Yemen is already home to al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula (AQAP), a small but dangerous group who tried to blow up an airliner over Detroit U.S. and sending bombs in the aircraft cargo bound for the United States last year.

Until this spring, AQAP was coming under pressure from mounting forces to fight the terrorism of the Government, supported and trained by the United States and Great Britain, and the air strikes by us unmanned aerial drones.

But with President Saleh having to fight for its own survival, the pressure is in part off the coast of al-Qaeda, which has been re-arming itself into chaos.

Neighbouring Gulf of Yemen, the six Arab States of the Gulf which are the Council for cooperation of the Gulf (GCC), are deeply concerned by the deteriorating crisis.

They fear weakness in the economy of the country could collapse completely, coupled with an upsurge in the fighting, could trigger a wave of refugees across the borders into Saudi Arabia and Oman.

The GCC, encouraged by Britain and the United States, made repeated attempts to descend Saleh President sign a transfer agreement that would see him step in exchange for immunity from prosecution by the Government of national unity who succeeded him. So far, he refused.

No Plan B

Yemen is faced with problems that go beyond the crisis of leadership or al-Qaida.

The poorest countries in the Arab world, its oil reserves are away, and therefore is groundwater capital, prompting fears it could be the first capital of the world to run out of water.

South of Yemen, who tries in vain to break with the most powerful North in 1994, has established separatist movement.

An insurrection of Shiites of long duration in the North dragged in forces from Saudi Arabia and, according to the Yemen, has also conducted interference in Iran.

Unemployment is high, there are too many guns in private hands, and a large part of the adult population waste valuable income and most of their afternoons to chew the narcotic qat sheet. In addition, Yemen is to find herself supporting thousands of Somali refugees.

International sympathy and attention briefly on the Yemen in the January 2010 London Conference, but a large part of promised billions of dollars of aid did not yet reach the people who need more.

The Arab world and the West that would like a Government of national unity bringing together take followed by a revival of the economy, but it does not appear to be a Plan B to President Saleh, refusing to be able to.
