Yemen Crisis and Pakistan: A Holistic Overview
Abstract
Yemen crisis is the latest open-ended conflict in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region after Iraq, Libya and Syria. Ensuing fissures may threaten the security of the Arab world as a whole—regimes as well as the people. Saudi Arabia intervened first and sought justification to its action later; this has set a dangerous precedence in international politics. Pakistani parliament's avoidance of a Saudi request to join the military action in Yemen has laid to rest a common perception that Pakistan is a rental state. Crisis has also brought forth the reality that keeping a balance in its relations with Saudi Arabia and Iran is Pakistan's strategic necessity. Pakistan government's handling of crisis was inadequate; while Pakistan's military engagement was still jockeying between emotionalism and pragmatism, the portion of the crisis relevant to Pakistan's military engagement was almost over.
As developments regarding Yemen continue to unfold on daily basis, this article covers events up to May 29, 2015.
