Since 2011, when Yemeni youths took to the streets and sparked the eventual demise of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh's regime, the country has fallen to pieces. The new embattled government is now struggling to cope with a bevy of issues, including sectarian rivalries, CIA drone strikes, and one of al Qaeda's most sophisticated branches. It now risks presiding over the failure of one of the world's most fragile countries.
In "Yemen: A Failed State," VICE News visits some of Yemen's most dangerous and hard-to-reach places and groups, including the national Army in the country's lawless East, the Houthis in Sana'a, and the Popular Committee in the South, to find out how both the government and the West's policy toward Yemen have gone wrong.

This is why religion should never run a country or people.

Troy Caduff Any religion, otherwise you'd have a theocracy.
Troy Caduff Any religion.....Christianity shouldn't rule a country or people either....And don't get me started on the Jews.
I dont think human ideologies (democracy & republic / communism) can top true & pure Sharia law. I think most of these countries are in such a terrible state because of human actions.
Yemenis are kind people. The situation of Yemen is not because of the Yemenis but because of foreign interventions each country tries to use Yemen and the Yemenis for their own interests without thinking of the innocent Yemenis. If foreign countries let Yemen by itself and support Yemen with good intentions things would be much x1000 better than now.
carl1223 No, western nations are puppets for the anti-Christ agenda. These conflicts you see in the Middle East is because terrorist western states love to intervene, they have the resources because they’re thieves and have the devil behind them. You will never see the brave middle eastern countries bow to anti-Christ agenda, God above all. To Him we will all return.

comment made my day lol
Lol
There is truth to that. Absolute information makes a sane world.
***** i guess ur profet didnt discover irony or humor yet..
Notice how every succesful country has abadoned religion...
World leaders worship lucifer the satan they take orders from him their master, try to watch some illuminati video
Russia didn't abandon religion , neither did lots of European countries. And I wouldn't sy Dubai is so unsuccesful...
adamrules01 I guess Denmark, Finland, Monaco, Norway, and Switzerland are not included in your list.
USA was christian during it's glory years. Now it has tons of non believers and heading for the edge.
xfgher Russia abandoned religion during World War 2, wtf are you even talking about. They would publicly harass anyone seen to be affiliated with religion and even took down any religious public gatherings.
Thanks Usa, for trying to bring your democracy to Yemen, unfortunately you are not very good at it.
Damn the USA for helping, Damn the USA for not...
There is a big difference in the world which many forget. You cant expect anything from these islamist countries. Islam and democracy haha Egyptians cant thank their military for saving them now we just have to save Bashar al assad.
PowermanGustav There's a lack of self-criticism in Islam coupled with a false sense of righteousness. All of these different type of Muslims have to push their ways on everyone else by force because they think God is supporting them and them alone. They all need to humble themselves and repent. They talk about the American government's arrogance in regard to foreign policy but fail to acknowledge that a majority of Muslims themselves, especially the more devout and extreme ones are some of the most arrogant and hypocritical people on earth.
***** Honestly, the whole "US does everything for oil", is getting old. Now they have their own oil resources, they dont need to plunder other countries any more, so at least this argument is now invalid.
Valivali94 No they mainly do it to prevent the hyperinflation of their valueless currency which would inevitably happen if enough middle eastern countries and other oil rich nations ceased to trade using the petrodollar. And for other reasons of course, such as the one stated above by naliuj. Corporate Lobbies have deep enough pockets to get themselves into bed with most of the politicians in the world it seems.
There are so many strange comments below that make me wonder what video they were watching.
Im yemeni and i hope yemen goes back to where it was. A peaceful and beautiful country!
This didn’t age well 😔
@@gamerpro412 yeh it didnt

the worlds a scary place. sometimes i think all humans are straight up evil. and i sometimes think the world would be better off if humanity never existed. is it wrong to think like this?
Yes, because if we didn't exist, something else would have filled the void as dominant species. And competition for resources would have triggered large scale conflicts, and those conflicts would in turn inspire the creation of tools that are more effective at neutralizing competition at minimal cost to themselves(weapons).
Sometimes i think it's sad that our cousin the homo neanderthalensis has gone extinct. Having to share our planet with another "human species" would have teached us humility and prooven that homo sapiens is only an animal among others. With that knowledge we would never have adopted religion in the first place and this world would be a way better place to live in.
TwoFistsOneHalleluja
I don't think so. Religion was designed as a way to explain what couldn't be explained at the time, like lightning a earthquakes. Easier to explain it as gods being angry rather than trying to put words and meaning to tectonic plates and particles in the atmosphere.
Though I do agree, with another species, religion at may have taken a more peaceful turn, rather than 'my god can beat up your god'.
I totally agree with you. I believe that humans are innately evil, and stupid. We are definitely one of the stupidest behaving and malicious species on this planet. We are doomed :(
So people, let's stop to think for a second very serious. Analyze this and let it sink into your brain. Why are these people becoming so violent, oppressive and conflicting? As much as Islam is a crappy religion, it isn't the *cause*. The first few seconds of the video queues the motive... RESOURCES, POVERTY, JUSTICE. None of this exist here. The governments at support and empowered by foreign governments like the US exploit its people. The people become poor and uneducated. They are desperate and they will steal to survive or improve their lives. Some will cling to religious radicalism to *excuse* their actions.
IF you can't see that, then maybe you fail entirely at critical thinking or the ability to observe something and learn.
yeah, well, maybe you should think critically and wonder why there is no jihad-like symptoms in non-muslim countries that are just as or even MORE poor. Crime yes. Jihad no.
Nick D'Aloise Ever heard of the Kony's Lord's Resistance Army?
TwoFistsOneHalleluja yeah, in fact i've heard that pathetic cherry-picked response dozens of times. you can point out one, two or even 5 groups and say that makes it just as bad as Islam, which has hundreds with hundreds of thousands of violent followers. Why are people so bent on defending Islam? what is the point? what GOOD is Islam doing in the world today, ever ask yourself that question?
Jarcnus Cole Seriously, you're talking about a cult with less than 1,000 members, and that's a serious equivalency in your mind?
Nick D'Aloise Size wouldn't and shouldn't change anything. How many people in the world are Islamic? You are cherry picking then to say (religion > human choice).
I already stated Islam is a religion I am not fond of or support and to me it's like any other garbage religion birthed from the Middle East-which those regions are historically violent, not the people. I gave you examples of countries that are Mostly Muslim and you ignore that to say I am cherry picking a few cultists. that's a bit hypocritical of a viewpoint on your behalf.
My point is though, the violence, suffering and turmoil from this region of the planet has *VERY LITTLE* if anything to really be derived from religion. The only thing this religion has done is make people a bit more bold and violent. However it's the fact of their geography that is an issue. Socioeconomics and the fact other countries have meddled, pillaged and bombed these people back decades of progress every few decades. There are simply greedy, "evil" people out there who only use religion (the people at the top) for their benefit, not like they actually believe.
Look at West/North Europe and even the US. It's been enjoying new standards of living, very high for many years now. Through these years it has developed increasing atheist/agnostic populations. That's no fucking coincidence. Developed countries without impoverished people aren't going to be as beset by violence and religion by population.
It's nice to see that all religions falling apart and atheism keep getting stronger.
itzAcutie lol do you still believe in fairy tales, grow up you brainwashed idiot.
sass82 Belief in religion in the USA is decreasing, that much is true. Yet, on an international level, it is actually increasing. This is just a reaction to atheism and secularism spreading, I think, and I am hoping it'll go back in the opposite direction.
***** i don't get it why would i nead balls to talk like this in real life i just do what's the big deal
He is atheist who defend religion lol , he's a joke
+sass82 Beware even the strongest of athiests can turn religious/spiritual when they are approaching the end of their life.
It's hard to believe this is my home country....

There aren't too many countries in the Middle East which are not failed states.
Arcturus Dunhelm Israel is not even a legal state. It's called occupied Palestine. Plus the Zionist state receives several billion dollars of aids from western countries.
Arcturus Dunhelm who mentioned Pakistan? I was talking about Israel
Arcturus Dunhelm Yeah, Israel, the great democracy...Dropping white phosphorus on random Palestinian kids. So dumb you can only possibly be American.
"Everything"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
Arcturus Dunhelm
Just because their are "a lot of other illegal states" doesn't make it right. Stupid logic. Any country having billions of dollars shoved into its pocket would have a near impossible time to fail. I'm not impressed one bit by israeal's success.
This is what happens when you enforce the Eurocentric ideology of the nation-state in areas that are just not suited. The Middle East has historically been tribal and, even when there has been a unifying empire (ottomans etc), local tribes have always had partial independence. We have created this mess. So much for 'western superiority'.
It's so rare we get news from Yemen !
Thanks Ben ! Stay Safe !
Very informative.
@chrisfalkenberg2167 Go along to get along. 1380 Peasant Revolt. Look how that turned out.
Why Oman is rich and so much better than Yemen when they are right next to each other?
6 years later...
Most of Yemen's problems today can be traced to the Zaidi Imamate, who have isolated North Yemen from the rest of the world. South Yemen was a communist state and it was by far more developed than GCC countries.
After both Yemens unity, the dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh just missed every thing up.
Yemen was the most developed nation in Arabia for litterally 3 thousand years, and its one of the oldest countries and civilizations in the region along with Egypt and Mesopotamia and Levant.
It only fell behind in the 90's.
+Oman ruling system is Monarchy, which is more stable than a republic like Yemen.
I believe in God, but I strongly believe religion should have no effect on government. I can't force the way I want to live on other people, a successful country is based on tolerance and acceptance. So I support gay marriage and religion out of schools. I don't know why people feel like they need to force other people to live their way. If people were really as religious as they say they are, then they would leave judgement into God's hands. I learned I am nobody to judge, I can only live my life.
Religious politicians come from religious homes. You can't even become president in America unless you can prove that you are a strong believer in christianity. Political leaders often do photo shoots on the doorstep of a church while wearing a cross to gain approval rating. As long as the cancer that is religion exists it will always corrupt the nature of politics.
John McClane Religion doesn't corrupt politics. People corrupt politics. Always pointing the finger at religion and religion is nothing but a belief. So ridiculous.
Bells Castillo Leaders enforcing Sharia law do not allow females to go to school. The boys that are allowed school are only allowed to study the Quran. Young men are indoctrinated into militant groups through islam. Political leaders use religion to control the people and recruit youth. Religious beliefs absolutely affect political descision making. Every political leader in the Middle East starts and ends each rally and speech with God is great. They enforce Sharia Law through religious police. You are extremely narrow minded if you truly think that religion does not corrupt politics.
John McClane Now the Middle East is a different story. They have not modernized in the way the U.S has. They don't experience extensive immigration therefore a majority of their population is Muslim. Muslim's support Sharia law because that is what they believe in. I wouldn't call it corruption, although that is your personal opinion. In your eyes, you believe in freedom it sounds like. They are not ready for freedom, because they believe in Sharia law for them it is "normal" and not wrong. U.S. has attempted to democratize the region over and over again and has failed. The Middle East has changed, in places such as Oman woman can drive, in the UAE woman can go to school, they are making progress towards freedom hence all the revolutions going on. I never said religion doesn't affect political decisions because it does. But I don't blame religion for it. I blame people for not being able to distinguish the two. The U.S. is not an old country and we have become increasingly more liberal, secular and tolerant. It is a process which will take years, decades even. But you can't say we haven't progressed because we have. If it wasn't religion, we would point the finger at something else. There is nothing else to blame, but people.
Bells Castillo When will there be an atheist American president? Last year, a rightward leaning Supreme Court has issued two major rulings granting sweeping new privileges to religious belief. Atheists and secularists in America are angry and frustrated, and it’s natural to wonder when we’ll have a government that heeds our wishes. Is there any prospect of an atheist president any time soon, or a nonbeliever in some other high political office? If there truly is a separation of church and state why are there so many religious politicians? That said, I think the real achievement won’t be the first atheist presidential candidate, but the second. As long as atheists running for office are seen as unusual or exceptional, there will remain that otherizing perception that there’s something different about us, that being a nonbeliever is a category unlike the rest of humanity. When an atheist candidate isn’t an exceptional event, but something that doesn’t even occasion comment or raised eyebrows. *When all candidates keep their beliefs to themselves instead of using it as a campaign tool then and only then will there be true separation of church and state in the body politic.*

Funny thing is, Yemen is a western outlet.

where does vice get thus footage? i know they send people but don't they think about safety?
Inshallah, Ansarollah will change Yemen and make it a Better and Prosperous State. The Saudi wahabis kept yemen backward.
The Saudi founder kind said "If yemen is weak Saudi is powerful and If Yemen is powerful then Saudi will be weak".

Yemen will still strong and will be stronger with the time and all the world will see how strong is Yemen.

Fuck Ayatrollah. Never unite with those insult Sahaba like Caliph Abu Bakar and Umar. Do you know Saladin Sunni destroy Fatimids Shia before he liberate Al Quds. This time Sunni will destroy Shia Safavid Iran and march to Al Quds
So all these people are misinformed and manipulated by people that they see as more knowledgeable who are also misinformed or just crave power… very sad.

Just a question looking at the barren landscape, fighting for what?
Failed, because for ocidente.
I get more and more indepth looks at our people in the Middle East and I have no idea what to say. Bombing these people can never be a solution, and I respect for what Islam is to those who actually practice it and are very sensible, cool and loving individuals that go about their calender holidays, dietary restrictions, prayers, studies, fasts or charity work... So denouncing their religion is by no means up to anyone but them... At the same time however some of these trolls saying that Islam is corrupting them are looking at little less on the extreme spectrum... Idk...

The U.S's goal is to keep the middle east from unifying or ever developing. That's so that those countries won't create their own currency to trade oil which would lead to the downfall of OPEC, leading to the downfall of the dollar, which would inevitably lead to the downfall of the U.S.
