Why Not Turkey to Take Action in Yemen?
Why Not Turkey to Take Action in Yemen?

Summary/Abstract: In one-year period, Yemen has become one of the significant issues of the world politics agenda even though its place on the map was not known well. Yemen is struggling with many issues including rebellions, secessionist movements, and Al-Qaeda terror. The country suffers from weak governance which makes these rebellions, secessionists and terrorist actions to be mobilized much easier. Weak governance accompanied with high illiteracy and poverty rates, corruption, inefficient social services, and insecurity escalates the unrest within the country. Apart from government’s corrupt structure, becoming the hotbed of the rising international terror drew the attentions to this country. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) chose Yemen as its one of the two main bases together with Saudi Arabia. In addition to Yemen’s incapability to cope with this issue alone, it is also claimed that Saudi donors are also the biggest financiers of AQAP.
