Yemen is an oil-exporting and food-importing country on the Arabian Peninsula with persistently high levels of poverty. The impacts of the food, fuel, and financial global crises are likely to further complicate preexisting conditions of internal conflicts, decreasing oil revenues, and governance failure. The latest official growth numbers date back to precrisis levels; new estimates are subject to much debate; and the current state of poverty in Yemen remains unclear.

The 20th century saw the rise and fall of fascism and communism – one went with a bang and the other with a whimper. At the turn of the millennium many in the West were convinced that we were facing the end of history, with Francis Fukuyama telling us as much in 1989. For a decade or more many in the West felt confident that markets and democracy had won at last and the world would live in an era of peace and prosperity. In 1996, Thomas Freidman even came up with the “Golden Arches” theory to describe the new era of peace since no two countries with a middle class large enough to support of McDonald’s had ever gone to war (this theory was put to rest with the 2008 Russia-Georgia conflict).
History, however, seems to be carrying on. The ideological battle of...

Things seem to have settled down somewhat in Kampala, where riots on Thursday and Friday caused at least nine and possibly as many as 14 deaths. I've been glued to my laptop for the past few days, feverishly refreshing TweetDeck and Google Reader and paging through Blogspirit, hoping for news of friends in the city. I'm not the only one: accurate information has been hard to come by, and people both in and out of Uganda have relied on blogs and Twitter for much of their news about the riots. This is the subject of my most recent piece on Global Voices Online:As riots shook Kampala, the capital of Uganda, for the second day, bloggers and other netizens rallied to keep the world informed.Within 24 hours of the first riots, concerned Kampalans launched Uganda Witness, a crisis reporting...
