cities. the reality is what we need to focus on is that libya is in chaos. there are two rival governments. war lords and militias control the country. you have mafia networks. you have human traffickers. on top of that you have isil. the question why isil or isis has made it to libya, is because as a social parasite it s in conflict zones. as long as the situation remains chaotic in libya, i expect isil to spread its influence in the country. the same way in yemen, as you know. given that yemen now is descending into all of out conflict i expect the al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, which is another branch of al qaeda to spread its influence, it s spreading its influence in yemen as well. that s right. we ve been reporting on the spreading of isis in yemen since i believe it was november. but in libya, because of this spreading, people are fleeing.
and europe too. that s not far away in the country. yeah, a lot of people talk about how recruitment and trying to fracture the recruiting of isis is going to be key here. we know that they recruit via the internet in skpus europe. are borders so poorest that they re recruitment is different in that area? it s very easy let s put it this way christie for them to travel to militants. this is a country that s a failed state right now. there s no real control. you you have two rival governments and different fractions that are fighting each other, and in the mist of all of this chaos, it s easy not just to travel to libya and train. this has been happening there
threatened to take its message to other countries, including yemen. and this is a huge grim turning point, not just a terrible humage tragedy but a grim turning point for yemen. for many months now it has been fighting between two rival groups for control. the shiite has surround the presidential palace and the president hadi has had to move his seat and these two rebel groups could be fighting isis and that means yemen could descend into a complex and bloody civil war. and of course that echoes the kind of chaos we ve been seeing across the border in libya which still has two rival governments. this is a big problem for yemen and the united states. yemen is a huge ally of the u.s. and conducted most of the war on terror operations in the region
