Absztrakt

A sharp rivalry evolved in Yemen when Daesh gained foothold in the Arab country. Namely, Yemen was the stronghold of the al-Qaeeda in the Arabian Peninsula for a long time and the most effective branch of the international al-Qaeda network got a new dangerous concurrent on its own territory. Daesh proved to be successful and raised its popularity among the local radicals due to its brutal campaign against Shias. However, it seems nowadays that AQAP would be the final winner in this deadly competition due to its strength, influence as well as its more flexible and adaptive strategy.
