Instability in Yemen

While Tony Horwitz is in Yemen he try's explain the reasoning behind the hostility of this country. His reason for hostility is that of instability. He says the government has not been able to take root in the society. But governments cannot take root when presidents are murdered based on difference of opinion. A government cannot take root if it's people do not want to act civilized and make attempt towards solving things democratically. The instability correlates to the hostility of the people. In a society that allows people to carry weapons to use at their discretion how can there be any stability. Because the society allows the people to practice self justice with these daggers, no roots of government will be able grow. These roots will be merely cut down by a fellow member of society because they believe differently.
