Yemen Civil War

About

The Yemeni Civil War is a complex and multifaceted conflict that began in 2014. It involves various internal factions, including the Houthi rebels and the internationally recognized government of Yemen, along with external actors like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The conflict started when Houthi forces seized control of the capital, Sanaa, and expanded their influence across the country. This led to a Saudi-led coalition intervening in March 2015 to support the ousted government. The war has had significant regional implications, affecting global energy security due to its proximity to critical shipping lanes. The conflict has resulted in severe humanitarian crises, with millions displaced and in need of aid. Yemen's infrastructure has been severely damaged, and the country faces ongoing challenges such as famine and disease outbreaks. Despite international efforts to broker peace, the conflict remains unresolved, with various factions vying for control. The involvement of external powers has further complicated the situation, contributing to the conflict's protracted nature and its impact on regional stability.
