| Summary: | After almost a year of political,
economic, and security upheaval, Yemen has now embarked on a
new political path based on an agreement brokered by the
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and overseen by the United
Nations, or UN and the international community. The
agreement was signed on November 23, 2011, after former
President Saleh, the ruling party (GPC), and the opposition
parties agreed to a political transition, dialogue, and
political reforms. A transitional government of national
unity was formed and confirmed by the Parliament in early
December 2011. The transition President Hadi was elected on
February, 21 2012, for the period spanning to the planned
next general elections in the first half of 2014. In an
environment of political tensions, the President made
progress in reforming the security institutional set-up, in
reducing the influence of Al-Qaeda forces, and in preparing
for a national dialogue. |
