Contradictions

This article has contradictions, such as claiming "the President of Yemen is both head of state and head of government" and "The president is head of state, and the prime minister is head of government." that need to get cleared up-- 71.75.121.182 15:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC) reply

And the article also states Yemen has a full presidential system, where the Prime Minister is the head of government, which falls into contradiction, because in such systems, the President is always both head of state of government. Plus, the Constitution of Yemen refers to an individual and collective cabinet responsability both to the President and the House of Representatives, (articles no. 74 and 105) which makes it a semi-presidential system rather than a presidential one. -- B.Lameira ( talk) 17:09, 28 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Important notice

The government section of the "Outline of Yemen" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

Thank you.

Too cookie-cutter!

The article currently makes the assertion that "politics of Yemen takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic, where the President of Yemen is the head of state, while the Prime Minister of Yemen (who is appointed by the President) is the head of government." For most countries, whatever template or bot script generated that type of statement is accurate, but for Yemen it is totally misleading. Most politics of Yemen takes place outside the framework of state institutions: there is the opposition protest movement, there are the Southern separatists, there is al-Qaeda, there are Shia and Salafi religious currents, and there are militarist elements (traditionally sponsored by the US). All of this gives the lie to the idea of an orderly political process operating within state institutions. A rethink and rewrite of this article is in order.
