The Yemeni government faces a pressing security threat in the al Houthi movement.

Yemen seems to be moving past another opportunity to seek a peaceful resolution to the al Houthi conflict.

Fighting raging in the north of Yemen between the government and Shiite al-Houthi rebels could have a significant effect on Middle East and U.S. security, as well as on Yemen's own survival.

Yemen’s unrest has not ended with the ouster of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The Yemeni Revolution instead has entered a new phase, the “Parallel Revolution.”

The U.S. government must design and implement a new model for dealing with the real and likely danger in Yemen, and fast.

Although the Salah government of Yemen is an unpalatable partner, we must side with it against insurgents if we want its support against al Qaeda.
