- Abstract
The article reports on the political, economic and social conditions of Yemen, as of June 2008. Recent unrest in the country indicates that the region's poorest for decades may be in slow-motion collapse. It notes the April 6, 2008 Al Qaeda bombing that shook the capital city of Sanaa which led to a spree of political violence that killed 21 people. Riots are ensuing in the country due to stagnant economic conditions and rising food prices. The most dismal report came when the state's oil ministry admitted that oil production has fallen considerably and will continue to drop.
