What is in store for Yemen after Saleh?


Challenges lie ahead as Yemen enters a transitional phase with President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. But what has actually changed? Ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh’s family still controls security forces and the country's new leader previously served for 18 years as Saleh's vice president. Also, the United States recently announced a new strategy to fight Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which has a growing presence in Yemen. What effect will these efforts have on the country's push for stability?
