  • Summary

    Was ending the permanent security custodianship ever possible? Based on Yezid Sayigh’s insights about the essential elements in security sector reform, the chapter discusses the limits of “democratic reforms” in Yemen, where a three-way civil war disrupted plans to create a federal Yemen in 2015. In Tunisia, the limits of reforms in the Ministry of Interior, Police, and Army are explained by a rapid regrouping of past political elites around the new president Beji Caid Essebsi and former security officials.
