Throughout the history of nations, wars have been a focal point in changing the features of nations, their civilizations, cultures, religions, and even their economies. Wars always produce many factors that affect the components of peoples, some of which are opportunities and some of them are challenges. However, the mental state of many stands at the obstacles and does not transcend them to the opportunities that wars and conflicts may produce. This is normal, as it is the state of anxiety, frustration, fatigue and exhaustion that has the upper hand over the people, so they have giant barriers that prevent them from looking at the opportunities in their hands.

It was said in the past, "Success is born from the womb of suffering," and we all see how light emerges from darkness, and this is the case that wars can cause. If we look at the world before and after the world wars, we will realize with certainty that the economy has changed completely, and nations have risen from under the rubble to lead the economies of the whole world.

What is the marvel of Singapore far from us, as we have seen how it has turned into one of the most important investment destinations in the world, and it was left alone without any natural resources to find itself facing a fateful challenge that is the challenge of "survival"!! And other European nations whose entire infrastructure was destroyed and had no features, but they rose up and advanced and led nations economically and scientifically.

But how can this be done?!!

It is important for us to realize that doing a great thing like this requires everyone to stand side by side, leaving all their differences behind their backs, and for everyone to realize that it is an inevitable role for everyone to participate in its performance. We cannot say that it is the responsibility of a party, individuals, or even groups, but rather it is Complementary responsibility, the pillars of which are not complete without teamwork.

There are several strategies that will enable the growth of the economy to be followed, the first of which is the so-called "nascent economy".

The development of global economies required the existence of "global markets" that promote and sell their commodities to them, and this is what resulted in what is called "developed countries" and "developing countries", and if we look at the matter from a market perspective, the market name for these countries is "producing countries". and "expendable states". The producing countries always seek to keep the consuming countries as they are, otherwise they lose a large part of their markets, which leads to a loss.

Wars, in fact, prepare the environment for escaping from this connection by focusing on various strategies, including the "nascent economy" strategy. What is meant by the nascent economy is the process of replacing what is consumed locally from imported goods with locally manufactured goods, and this substitution may also allow countries to develop their local industries to be able to cover the needs of the local market, and it may go beyond it to develop goods and products with competitive characteristics that enable them to emerge from being a local product. To become a global product.

If we look a little at some of the products that we use today, "cars", for example, we will see that Korea, Japan, Germany and even Malaysia, their markets are led by their local products of cars, but rather they moved from self-sufficiency to becoming a basic resource of the state's resources. Cars are just one example of a group of examples.
Doing this requires the solidarity of everyone from society, citizens and government agencies to make it a success. There is a need to ration imports, but after finding local alternatives to compensate for the losses that may result from rationing and reducing import operations. And the reduction of import operations is through encouraging and developing local products that provide them with all kinds of support and opportunities, such as reducing customs and taxes on raw materials, as well as contributing to supporting and providing the infrastructure required to support local production operations, and encouraging and motivating importers to shift from import activities to manufacturing activities so that they do not lose sources their income on the one hand, and so that they only turn against this idea on the other hand. The main focus should be on producing the most consumed commodities, which are often linked to food security. Yemen, in general, possesses environmental, agricultural and water components that enable it not only to be self-sufficient, but also to transform itself into supplying neighboring countries with basic foodstuffs.

On the other hand, there is an important financial resource that must be invested and worked on, which is the "remittances of expatriates". In fact, this is an important financial resource, but it is not invested in a correct way, as it is resources used in purchases and consumption by its owners. The amounts incoming to Yemen as external remittances by expatriates are expected to exceed one billion dollars annually, and we can imagine that these funds are transferred abroad, as we are a consumer society when we import, so we pay these amounts to buy our products from abroad, so if they remain inside, they will constitute a resource Important for the local economy, it is used to purchase raw materials rather than consumer products.

The third aspect is the most important resource that any nation in the world can gain is the "human" resource. Yemen is considered a young country, meaning that the category of young people who are able to work is greater than the category of elderly people who are about to retire, and this resource is the dream of any nation. This resource can be invested in more than one way. It is possible to develop the capabilities of young people and interest in the educational, technical and vocational aspects, and work to organize their work inside and outside the country and deal with them as an important asset of the state’s assets that must be developed and invested. Active in transferring money inward. Although there are very large numbers of expatriates and immigrants outside the country, their financial returns are not comparable to the returns of other countries whose number of expatriates may be less than that. The reason is due to two main elements. The first is the weakness of technical and scientific expertise, which makes it difficult for them to compete or request larger sums. As for the second, it is the absence of official systems that regulate the process of alienation, care for expatriates and their rights, work to develop their capabilities, and strive to provide them with better opportunities.

What has been mentioned is only part of many strategies and plans that can work to strengthen and enhance the local economy and develop it, but there remain two main elements that drive and work to develop this, they are the elements of "will" and "management." Whenever there is a real will from all parties represented by an efficient, empowered and supported administration, you will not be able to imagine the miracle that we will present to the world.
