SALEH’S DEATH IMPACT 2

Saleh’s Death Impact upon the Civil War in Yemen

Introduction

It is worth noting that the act of eliminating former Yemen president Ali Saleh in the

hands of the Houthis rebels may have introduced greater complications into the situation that was

already complicated in the nation as Almasmari et al. (2017) says in his article. The ongoing civil

war within the borders of Yemen might have even taken such a dramatic turn on the onset Ali’s

death. This cruel death was considered by the rebel groups to be their punishment for the way the

leader switched sides to the Saudi Arabia backed coalition. Regardless of any immediate impact

from Saleh's death, this war within Yemen shall turn out to be intriguing on the civilians lives

which are at stake.

Hypotheses

Hypothesis 1: The death of Saleh will not cause any issues since he lost his power and his party

almost collapse after his death.

Hypothesis 2: The death of Saleh will cause more chaos in Yemen since his son Ahmed

declared that he will lead his father’s forces to revenge for him.

Hypothesis 3: The collation would benefit from Saleh’s death by using his son as an ally for

them since the son has a strong relationship with the United Arab Emirates.

Hypothesis 4: The Houthi militia will have a negative consequence because they lost a strong

ally and they must fight the collation and Saleh forces. Saleh is the camouflage for the Houthi

and they lost it.

Choice of Hypotheses

The various hypotheses fronted to generate the discussion shall be identified as follows

based upon the structure of the analytical techniques together with the use of assumptions.

SALEH’S DEATH IMPACT 3

Hypothesis 1: The firths hypothesis regards the death of Saleh not causing any issues since he

lost his power and his party almost collapse after his death. Many have regarded the civil war

within Yemen to be a proxy war happening between Iran with Saudi Arabia (BBC, 2017). The

assumption for this hypothesis is that the proxy war cannot influence the peace negotiations in

Yemen as WAM (2017).

Hypothesis 2: The second hypothesis says that the death of Saleh will cause mores chaos in

Yemen since his son Ahmed declared that he will lead his father forces to revenge for him. BBC

(2017) ascertains that there will be no resolution to this ongoing conflict within Yemen. The

assumption used here is that the killing of Saleh by rebel groups shall sparks further bloodshed in

Sanaa region and this can also be seen in WAM (2017) article.

Hypothesis 3: The collation would benefit from Saleh death by using his son as an ally for them

since the son has a strong relationship with the United Arab Emirates. It is not being speculative

to ascertain to the fact that the killing of Ali Saleh in a violent manner would not bring to an end

the Yemen’s civil war. The Aboudi (2017) author affirms that the revenge against the Houthi

rebel groups would bring to an end the negotiations for peace.

Hypothesis 4: The fourth hypothesis is insignificant to the discussion as a whole since it

generally concerns about the negative consequence to be faced by the Houthi militia instead of

the effects realized from Saleh’s death.

This article has been authored in Reuters (2017) and talks about how veteran leader Saleh

was killed after switching sides from the Iran-backed Houthi to favor the Saudi-led

coalition. The article is more reliable as it gives information that can help to draw a

conclusion.

From this analysis, the other articles given have information whose reliability is not clear

as it cannot help to give a clearer conclusion about the civil war within Yemen. There is also no

need to use any graphics because there is no data to analyze in a bid to come up with a

conclusion for the situation about Yemen since the analysis isn’t indicative of any measure. The

inclusion of graphics will not be possible in the analysis.

Conclusion

Despite the death of Saleh, there is still a belief that a peaceful resolution for the conflict

in Yemen can still be reached. There is going to emerge renewed calls that all the sides have to

commit towards a ceasefire that is somehow temporary by the UN so that peace negotiations can

be achieved in the long run. It remains to be certain that capital of Sanaa is going to continue

being filled up with gunfire sounds in a relentless manner together with screams since there shall

be hardline stand being held by the faction groups.
