Yemen: Fear The Sky

Perhaps a hundred men or more al Qaeda Have Fled to Egypt's Sinai desert, Where Police presence was weak and heavily armed smugglers (who move drugs and people into Israel) Have created a refuge for all spells of illegal groups. One thing men are fleeing al Qaeda is the growing number of U.S. UAV missile attacks, as well as the use of UAVs for Increase surveillance. There Were 53 Such attacks last year (and 35 terrorists killing 193 Civilians), Compared to 18 (81 dead and no Civilians) in 2011.

The continuous use of UAVs to Increase and al Qaeda is desperate to get the UAVs to stop operations.

Hundreds of al Qaeda members Have taken refuge in remote villages and They still seek to carry out bombing and shooting attacks. The southern tribes, even the pro-government ones, are still unhappy with the government. The post-Saleh rulers have-nots Brought a lot of foreign exchange to the south (other than the months of violence as al Qaeda army rule Eliminated in several portions of cities and the countryside.) The government HAS little money and That Is Largely Because some southern tribes continue to attack oil installations. This oil, while a pittance Compared to what is pumped by the Persian Gulf nations, Provides MOST of the cash the government HAS to play with. Yemen still HAS enormous economic problems and the corruption is still there. This scares off a lot of foreign investors and Donors.
