Expert Kahwaji: the Hybrid War in Interest of Technological Advancement

In his lecture delivered today at Sana'a University, Professor Riad Kahwaji, the prominent researcher and the founder and CEO of the INEGMA, said that the hybrid war is in interest of the technological and technical advances in the world.

Kahwaji, who is visiting Yemen at the invitation of the SCSS, pointed out that guerrilla warfare had become more complex over the last two decades as a result of the availability of the modern technologies such as the Internet, which provides almost free services for knowledge, information, recruitment and mobilization, and cellular phones which facilitate communication between individual at any time or place in addition to the emergence of a new generation of revolutionaries and guerrillas that had not been known during the Cold War. These powers exploit the state-of-the-art equipment to mobilize the public, according to the lecturer.
He also reviewed the various definitions given by analysts and experts to "the Cold War", indicating that all of these definitions agree that this war has different means and goals, aims at  destabilizing countries and incapacitating states, and to fund its battles, it does illegitimate practices such as drug trafficking and money laundering which increased after cracking down on the sources of funding as such charities and other organizations.
The CEO of the INEGMA warned against the candidacy of the Middle East region for a new regional war should the current threats and arms race continue, given the lack of tangible progression towards solving the exacerbated crisis in the region. Furthermore, he mentioned many drivers triggering war such as sovereignty conflicts, competition for energy sources, the oil routes in the region, and the conflict between the superpowers over the wealth existing in the region.
