Research and Markets: Yemen Defence and Security Report 2012: independent forecasts and competitive intelligence - Boston Globe

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/82fa06/yemen_defence_and) has announced the addition of the "Yemen Defence and Security Report 2012" report to their offering.

Although it is yet to be seen what effect (if any) the killing of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi by antigovernment militants will have on President Ali Abdullah Saleh, it is likely to add urgency to his strategy in some shape or form. It appears increasingly likely that Saleh and his cohorts genuinely believe Yemen's political structure can survive fates seen in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya by a combination of compromise, perseverance and relevance to the US's foreign policy.

Business Monitor International's Yemen Defence and Security Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, defence and security associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Yemen's defence and security industry.

Yemen remains in a state of political limbo, months after Saleh was forced to seek medical treatment in Saudi Arabia following an attack on his residence in June 2011. Although Saleh sustained severe burns, raising doubts about his ability to resume his duties, he continues to refuse opposition demands that he resign the presidency. Vice-President Abdrabu Sayed Hadi Mansour has been acting as president in Saleh's absence but he lacks the authority to maintain order. Meanwhile, the power vacuum led to clashes between government and opposition forces, Islamist militants, and tribal groups. Although the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the US had for some months been seeking to negotiate a power transition from Saleh to the opposition, he has proved much harder to dislodge than the Tunisian and Egyptian presidents earlier in 2011. Government forces are unable to quash the opposition, but the opposition is not strong enough to force out the regime.
