Qatar Walks Away from Yemen

Map of the modern state of Yemen. Map of Yemen...

Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the US have been trying to find a way for President Saleh to gracefully step down in Yemen. Apparently no longer as Qatar abandoned the effort while pointing the finger at Saleh.

There are two possible scenarios now - Saleh becomes more isolated and is forced to leave or Saleh becomes more isolated and reacts with more violance.

In the end, the military units (now divided) will decide this.

Question of the week..

Why does Qatar need 36 german main battle tanks? (Der Spiegel - no link) Can't that money be spent in more useful ways or is someone about to invade?

Dear Visitor

Thanks for visiting. This is an international development and foreign policy centric blog (mostly). We are not entirely on anyone's side, because no one is entirely on our side. We are (mostly) neither partisans nor sycophants (we can, however, be provoked). Also, unlike many politicians and experts, we are willing to change our minds in light of new facts or situations. Call this our survival instinct.
We welcome questions and, aside from a registration requirement, anyone can comment. However, the blog is moderated and unprofessional behavior will not be tolerated.
