• The religious sectarian groups that emerged (1912-1986) seek to monopolize power according to their vision of governance through two theories: Imamate among Shiites, and succession by Sunnis.
• The Yemeni citizen is proud to belong to the tribe and the clan more than being proud for his homeland, so the concept of citizenship has no roots in his soul.
