There have been a lot of protest in Yemen as well. They are asking for justice and an end to poverty as well as many other problems facing the country. Hope has been giving to the people in due to the uprising in Tunisia that led the president to flee. Just like other Democracies
in the Middle East, the president Ali Abdullah Saleh has been in power for more than 30 years.

  2. I definitely see the protests escalating, given Yemen's socio-economic situation. Nevertheless, a more feasible scenario is the peninsula's support for the current Yemeni government because of the likely unrest a remotely successful opposition would cause in their own states.
