Yemen is located in west Asia at the southern tip

of the Arabian peninsula between Oman and

Saudi Arab.


It is situated at the entrance to the

Bad-el-Mandeb Strait, which links the red sea to

the Indian Ocean and is one


of the most active and strategic shipping lanes

in the world. Yemen has an area of 555,000 square

kilometers (214,000 sq mi), including the islands

of perm at the southern end of the Red Sea and scotro at the

entrance to the Gulf of Aden. Yemen's land

boundaries total 1,746 kilometers (1,085 mi). Yemen borders


Saudi Arabia to the north (1,458 km or 906 mi)

and Oman to the northeast (288 km or 179 mi). Through the


Socotra island, Yemen also shares borders with

l the Guardafui channel and the Somali Sea.


Yemen has long existed at a crossroads of

cultures with a strategic location in terms of

trade on the


west of the Arabian Peninsula. Large settlements

for their era existed in the mountains of northern

Yemen as early as 5000 BC


The Republic of Yemen (ROY) was declared on 22

May 1990 with Saleh becoming president and al-


Baidh Vice President. For the first time in

centuries, much of Greater Yemen was

politically united. A


30-month transitional period for completing the

unification of the two political and economic systems
was set.
Formal government authority is centralized in

the capital city of Sana’a. Yemen's Local

Authority Law

decentralized authority by establishing locally


elected district and governorate councils


(last elected in September 2006), formerly

headed by government-appointed governors. After the September


2006 local and governorate council elections,

President Salih announced various measures that would


enable future governors and directors of the

councils to be directly elected. In May 2008,

governors were


elected for the first time. However, because the

ruling party, the General People's Congress

(GPC), continues


to dominate the local and governorate councils,

the May 2008 elections retained this party's executive


authority over the governorates. In rural Yemen,

direct state control is weak, with tribal

confederations acting


as autonomous sub-states.
