| Summary |
Complementary to targeted intelligence and Yemeni-led law enforcement activities, an effective strategy to combat AQAP must seek to understand which parts of the group's narrative are resonating and why and how state institutions can address the grievances, real or perceived, articulated by AQAP. At the same time, policy makers must exploit contradictions in the extremist narrative, particularly regarding the (in)efficacy and illegitimacy of violent jihad. Increased governmental visibility and service delivery at the local level are therefore recommended as components of a development assistance approach to counterterrorism. Such an approach is premised on commitment by and partnership with the Yemeni government and an acknowledgment of the limitations of military operations to deal with the threat comprehensively |
