As Nations Meet, Clinton Urges Yemen to Prove Itself Worthy of Aid

  • foreign aid: aid (such as economic or military assisitance) provided to one nation by another
  • International Monetary Fund: special UN agency that was founded in 1944 to stabalize exchange rates and to facilitate international commerce and to provide monetary aid to countries suffering economic hardship, IMF
  • United Nations: international orginization founded in 1945 to promote peace and security and international cooperation and promote humanitarinaism

Secretary of State Mrs.Clinton is telling Yemen what they need to do in order to receive foreign aid from the U.S. and other countries. Among these things are providing a concrete plan for what will be done with the aid, more rights for women, less cooperation with the Taliban, and enact it's own 10 point reform plan. The U.S. has recently given Yemen some supplies to fight off a proposed attack from the Taliban.

Yemen is in this position because though they are a country in need an other countries are willing to help, their government along with other higher powers seem to be in alliance with the Al Qaeda and Taliban. This is another third world country with a corrupt government.

I personally think that Yemen is going to receive the aid it is asking for now, but in the future prove to be unproductive with its aid,and therefore receive no more foreign aid until it completely removes itself from the Al Qaeda and Taliban.
