SANA'A: Just as Colette Fearon, Oxfam's country director for Yemen announced that since President Ali Abdullah Saleh had left the country, donors had come forward to ease Yemen's grave humanitarian crisis by increasing their donations, officials in the capital Sana'a reported the kidnapping of four foreign aid workers and two Yemeni nationals. With Yemen trying to transition from three decades of dictatorship to a democratic civil state, security is becoming an ever increasing worry, with a breakdown in the government's ability to control the nation's fighting factions in a land where the army ratio per inhabitant is as high as three, chaos is threatening to take hold. And if Fearon announced that things very looking up for Yemen with more aids flying in and the arrival of new aid workers, the new wave of kidnappings could jeopardize relief work. “We have noticed that there is some return to the country by donor communities and that is a very positive sign … But we need to promote the scale of the need if we are going to avert further cases,” said Fearon. With 7 Millions of people reported to be in dire need for food aid, Yemen cannot afford any delay. The Saba news agency reported on Tuesday that a German, a Colombian, an Iraqi, a Palestinian and 2 Yemeni aid workers had been kidnapped in a touristic are west of Sana'a by armed tribesmen who are now demanding the release by the government of several of their men.
