Abstract

Faith-based organizations (FBOs) are increasingly influential in contemporary humanitarian governance. However, limited research has examined how faith-based identities operate within politically fragmented Muslim-majority conflict settings. This study investigates how faith-based identity influences humanitarian governance in Yemen using the case of Islamic Relief. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research analyzes organizational reports, humanitarian publications, institutional documents, academic literature, and human rights reports related to Yemen between 2015 and 2026. This study applies the concepts of humanitarian governance, comparative advantage, and competitive advantage to examine how faith-based identity shapes legitimacy, humanitarian access, donor relations, and operational practices. The findings demonstrate that Islamic Relief’s Islamic identity simultaneously functions as an advantage and a constraint. While it strengthened religious legitimacy, community trust, and access to transnational Muslim donor networks, a shared Muslim identity alone did not guarantee humanitarian access or political legitimacy. Instead, Islamic Relief’s relationships with Western donors, United Nations agencies, and international humanitarian networks generated suspicion among Houthi authorities, contributing to restrictions on and interference with humanitarian operations. This study argues that faith-based legitimacy is context-dependent and politically negotiated, rather than inherently advantageous, within fragmented humanitarian environments.

Abstract

The mass migration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel through mass evacuation occurred between 1984 and 1985. In 1984, hundreds of thousands to millions of Ethiopians fled to Sudan due to famine, persecution, and civil war that occurred in Ethiopia. This study focuses on answering the question of why the Israeli government is willing to accept the presence of Ethiopian Jews and how Israel conducts its intelligence operations in the midst of unfriendly countries. This study uses a historical method that focuses on the analysis of primary and secondary sources through four stages, namely Heuristics, Verification, Interpretation and Historiography. This study can be found that the Ethiopian Jewish Community is an ancient Jewish group that has inhabited Ethiopia for thousands of years. They are also called the Beta Israel (House of Israel) or Falasha (foreigners). The civil war, drought and discrimination experienced by Ethiopian Jews in the 1980s forced some of them to flee to Sudan and find a way to get to Israel. Likewise, the common identity has made the Israeli government willing to accept the presence of Ethiopian Jews in its country. Through intelligence and diplomacy facilitated by the United States, the Israeli government finally succeeded in bringing Ethiopian Jews to Israel from Sudan.
