Yemen was officially declared a unified
Republic in 1990 but now it's a country
divided Washington views Yemen is a
major front in the battle against
al-qaeda since 2011 Yemen has embarked
on a series of reforms including a
transition of power and a national
dialogue for a new political system
President Obama now have used this model
as a blueprint for other failing states
in the region to follow the u.s. is
fighting a covert war in Yemen targeting
al-qaeda cells in the country using
drones and Special Forces to date it's
estimated that there have been 70 drone
attacks in Yemen but numbers are
difficult to verify not least because
they're mainly carried out by the CIA
not the US military public outrage
appears to have been steadily growing
against these strikes with 80 estimated
civilian casualties since 2002 but in
spite of the u.s. providing military
training and counterterrorism advice to
the Yemeni government the country is
riddled with sectarian tension and
violence with a threat of multiple civil
wars which may yet in the country apart
vice news got access to several groups
fighting battles in the north and south
of the country and those fighting a
guerrilla war with al-qaeda for the past
decade the Houthis a Shiite rebel group
have waged the bitter insurgency against
the government who they accused of
aggression and discrimination they see
the Far Away states of america and
israel who they believe fund the Yemeni
government's fight against them as their
ultimate enemies

of the country but they also have a
strong presence here in the capital a
Shiite Muslims they overwhelmingly
support President Assad in Syria and
Hezbollah in Lebanon some have even gone

the Houthis the southern separatists and
the government of Yemen may all be
enemies but they agree on one thing the
greatest enemy is al-qaeda who have a
bigger presence in Yemen than anywhere
else in the world with the most active
drone campaign in the world the u.s.
supports the Yemeni government in its
war against al-qaeda
we traveled east of Aden to the popular
committees non-government militias who
have taken upon themselves to fight
al-qaeda chakra was previously an
al-qaida stronghold but having been
pushed back by the army and the popular
committee al-qaeda moved into the
mountains in 2009 various elements of
al-qaeda joined together to form Ansar
al-sharia otherwise known as al-qaeda in
the Arabian Peninsula or AQAP the group
is one of our Qaeda's most dangerous
cells the cell has carried out terrorist
attacks inside Yemen and has targeted
commercial cargo flights with bombs
hidden in printer cartridges following
the uprising in Yemen in 2011 Ansar
al-sharia took advantage of a weakening
state and declared an Islamic Emirate in
southern Yemen clashes with the Yemeni
army then ensued the rapid deterioration
of security after 2011 led to the rise
of the popular committees locally armed
resistance groups committed to
recapturing Ansar al-sharia held areas
these committees consist of voluntary
armed members of the local population
but they have limited training and
resources it's believed they operate
with a few thousand men and coordinate
security in the abbien province their
main role is to provide security
services guarding roads and highways
fighting crime and filling a vacuum

despite retreating from key area
al-qaida are still carrying out attacks
on the army
[Music]
the marital is a lament the mercy
the army is always on alert for an
attack the area is littered with debris
from despite the government's claim al
Qaeda have been driven from AVM it's
clear that they are still at large on
the horizon and when le hovel upon was
another of abdomen - alone of so fear is
that I'm noise septa roll up on with
three different conflicts going on at
the same time a stronger al Qaeda
presence than anywhere else in the world
a collapsing economy and a deeply
fragmented country many argue that
Yemen's already a failed state
[Applause]
[Music]
so even if the shaky alliance is against
al-qaeda succeed Yemen will still be in
the eyes of Washington at least one of
the most dangerous countries on earth
