Nepotism

Since coming to power as leader of the Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen) in 1978, Ali Abdullah Saleh has balanced progress with nepotism. President Saleh’s nephews, relatives and tribesmen make up the leadership of Yemen’s military and security forces. The sense that Yemen is a family corporation that has enriched itself is part of the problem. As President Saleh has consolidated power in his family’s hands, his influence with tribal chiefs has receded. This is all a bit complicated, and not all sources are in agreement on the details. One source reports that Brigadier General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar is a half brother of president Saleh, while the New York Times reports that "Mr. Saleh and Mr. Mohsen are not related".
