As Yemen and the rest of the world , watched transfix millions of Egyptians protest against their first democratically elected president in over three decades, President Mohammed Morsi this Wednesday, politicians and state officials drew a deep sigh, wondering how his deposition will translate across the region. Angry and disillusioned by crippling poverty, deteriorating economic conditions and poor state amenities, Egypt revolted against its leader, bolstered by the political opposition which saw in such frustration an opportunity to strike the Muslim Brotherhood and with its the inception of political Islam.
Although President Morsi managed to pull together a strong popular majority both in support of his presidency and the parliament, its failure to gain control over the state institutions and more importantly its failure to tame the armed forces led to his colossal demise.
Just as Egypt 2011 revolution prompted Yemen to start its own revolutionary movement against then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh, analysts have warned that Egypt second revolutionary wave would have repercussions across the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa), even more so in Yemen as Yemenis will identify with their fellow Egyptians and the state's lack of control and potency to bring about change.
And if Yemen did not like its Egyptian counterpart follow the same path since its own transition of power was led by the political class and not the military, Yemen government like Egypt failed so far to address and answer its people most basic demands: security and stability; thus leading to a mass resentment.
While analysts are still arguing and analyzing whether or not President Morsi was indeed deposed by the military to please foreign powers' agenda in the region or by a popular vote of no confidence, one aspect of this crisis remains constant, its ramification will be global and it will impact Yemen on many level.
As explained by Marwan Bishara, al-Jazeera senior political analyst on Wednesday, whatever happens to Egypt will happen to the region as a whole. Dubbed the engine of the Middle East, Egypt leads just as much as its impacts the Arab world, shaping policies, giving strength to political movements, crushing and empowering ideas.
Just as Yemenis are dissatisfied with their current situation, many feeling the revolution only served the political opposition instead of bringing a new government of the people for the people, factions are looking to draw a momentum from the Egyptian movement to support their political ambition and their calls for a change in government.
The Houthis, a dissident Shiite group organized under Ansar Allah have already called for streets protests, having refuted the legitimacy of the GCC brokered power transfer initiative.
In South Yemen, Haraki militants, Southern Secessionist Movement are as well trying to bank on the second revolutionary wave, calling for more drastic actions against the central government.
Emboldened by events in Egypt, Yemenis could once again feel that they too should impose their will on a government which is losing touch with their realities and aspirations.
However, if Egypt can institutionally survive another round of protests, Yemen, the most impoverished nation of the Arabian Peninsula cannot.
Yemen's ailing economy and its 40% of food insecure people would never withstand more political instability.
And while time might not be on the mind of the angry and impatient, the country cannot afford not to see through its transfer of power and give a chance to its political class to salvage the state institutions.
Just as Egypt is now being engulfed in a wave of violence with the Muslim Brotherhood on the one side fighting for its deposed president and what it calls a coup against democracy, blood is one again flooding across the nation.
If the Arab Spring was mainly peaceful, its aftershock however cold prove to be doubly violent and costly in lives.
If Yemen has much to learn from Egyptians' determination to remain engaged in its political future, it should refrain from harsh and bold actions, as as always in a popular movement, all bets are off and truly anything could happen.
More instability would only serve al-Qaeda, which group mainly feeds from Yemen weaknesses.
Just as the terror seized an opportunity in 2011 when it used the power vacuum to take control over large swathes of land, a new revolution could allow its militants to gain control over even larger territories, making democracy but a distant dream.
