Yemen hard-pushed to deliver
The renewed focus on Yemen as a failing state and a haven for al-Qaeda will see many millions of dollars flow into the country for counter-terrorism operations, notably from the United States and Saudi Arabia. President Ali Abdallah Saleh, reliant as he is on influential tribal chiefs sympathetic to al-Qaeda, will find it difficult to deliver the "peace and stability" that Washington demands. (Jan 7, '10)
