Prevent Yemen such as Syria or Libya.
Yemen crisis became the main agenda Arab Summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, yesterday (28/3). Increasing number of countries involved in military action at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula republic is making the United Nations concerned.Yemen does not want to be like Syria or ended like Libya, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the negotiations as the only way out.
"I was embarrassed and furious with the failure of the international force to stop the civil war in Syria," said the South Korean diplomat in opening a dialogue forum that Arab countries.
Reportedly Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi-also present in the meeting of the heavily guarded military and the Egyptian police.
Ban did not want to open the current conflict in Yemen that lasted long. As much as possible the UN should initiate efforts to end the crisis since 2011. Yesterday the US online media The Huffington Post, wrote that the crisis in Yemen is a serious concern for the global community, as a country of 23 million people is one of the important elements in the Arabian Peninsula and essential partners in the United States anti-terror war waged Uncle Sam's to the entire universe.
There are at least five reasons that make chaos in Yemen must be taken seriously. The first reason is the poorest Arab country was a hotbed of al Qaeda. Particularly Al Qaeda Arabian Peninsula, known as AQAP. In the eyes of Washington, which is entrenched AQAP in Yemen is the most important part of the global terror movement initiated by the late Osama bin Laden.
"AQAP is a branch of Al Qaeda's most active and lethal," said The Huffington Post quoted an internal source of government.
At least, AQAP actively attacked and targeted diplomatic facilities of the United States and its allies, which is not only in Yemen, but also in the whole world. Even the deadly attack on Charlie Hebdo tabloid headquarters earlier this year also claimed as AQAP action.
In addition to AQAP, Yemen became a militant base Houthis are now keen to fight the government Hadi. The group had taken control of nine of the total 21 provinces of Yemen. Although the Houthis is the main enemy of AQAP, the Shiite militants also antagonize the United States. Moreover, since the United States supports civil revolution that dropped Ali Abdullah Saleh from the presidency in 2011.
The second reason that makes the world's population should be alert to the Yemeni crisis is the failure of the drone action (using drone attacks) United States there. Last week, about one hundred US military advisers withdrew from Al-Annad airbase after Houthis mastered the Yemeni military facilities. On Thursday (26/3) of Saudi Arabia and its allies to storm the base of the air.
During this time, the mission of the US drones in Yemen has become a symbol of the success of Washington in its global anti-terror action. Around the last decade, the US military joint action and Yemen have successfully break militant attacks, even last September, President Barack Obama called the Yemen as a shining example of global anti-terror action that led the United States.
But now Yemen is no longer a proof of success US anti-terror action. Hadi's departure to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday (25/3) make Obama lose vital chain intelligence about terrorism in the Arabian Peninsula, especially the capital has fallen into the hands of Houthis who received full support from Iran. Thus, the United States will be increasingly difficult to dig up information terrorism from Yemen.
Saudi and Iranian involvement in the conflict in Yemen became the third reason which requires a global society concerned with the crisis.
Most of the media revealed that the current conflict in Yemen is not just a battle between the Houthis and the US-backed government and the Gulf states, but also as a war between the Shiites and the Sunnis.
Furthermore, the last two reasons that make the world can not ignore the crisis in Yemen is a factor aka Islamic militant Islamic State State (IS), also known as ISIS or ISIL and factors aka Gitmo detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Bawdy bawdy Yemeni political and security conditions in chaos there be a fertile ground for the IS to raise the network, then the world must be vigilant.
Meanwhile, related to the Gitmo detainees, the United States was forced to revise its policies. Since about two years ago, Obama ordered their extradition Gitmo detainees to Yemen, because he sure Hadi could maintain security and stability of Yemen. However, developments in the field make the White House to cancel the extradition agreement.
