Reporting On Yemen Situation

Integrity research analyst Will Carter undertook a short field research and scoping visit to Sana’a, Yemen during mid-December 2011. In addition to conducting field research, including interviews and focus group sessions with Yemeni businessmen, journalists, academics and youths, he also produced a short snapshot assessment report.

The report is designed to be an informative and accessible resource for professionals (with general interests in the Middle East and Arabian Gulf) on the current events and near-term potential trajectories of Yemen. It is exceptionally timely, as it was produced at the initial implementation stages of the GCC-brokered deal which transferred power from President Saleh to the incumbent Vice-President along with a National Unity Government.
