What's the deal in Yemen? Yemen has a favorable climate for protests: widespread corruption, unemployment, a declining economy, rising living costs, and a nepotistic regime with an ageing president who rules over a young, frustrated and politically excluded majority.

Possibly through habitually used national drug, Qat: used in government sittings and taken by youth and elders alike. This small shrub, chewed and kept stored in the cheek, is the palliative of Yemen, and in this case, the stimulant.
