Le Yémen après le 11 septembre 2001 : entre construction de l’État et rétrécissement du champ politique
François Burgat
For a while considered as a potential target in the “war on
terror,” Yemen was soon designated the U.S.’ partner in its ambitious security offensive triggered in the aftermath of 9/11. Although for a short time
President Ali Abdallah Saleh managed to handle this unpopular alliance using
skill and realism, he was unable to prevent his concessions to Washington
from sparking popular protest. The excessive repression wielded against the
radicalism of dissident Hussein al-Hûthî and his partisans have created the
most serious crisis the country has experienced since the civil war in 1994.
