Marxism in Islamic South Yemen
Abstract:
South Yemen is a unique Arab-Islamic state because it has a Marxist government. This blending of Islam and Marxism is a concern for pro-Western Arab governments and United States interests in the region. This study concludes that unique internal and external factors promoted Marxists to power in South Yemen. Additionally, there is slight probability that South Yemen can export its Marxist revolution to other pro-Western Arab states. Currently, the greatest threat to US interests is the military presence of the Soviet Union in strategically located South Yemen.aw
