Yemen Conflict

The Yemen conflict is a complex civil war that started in 2014 when Houthi rebels, a Shiite Muslim minority group, took control of the capital, Sana'a. The internationally recognized government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, seeks to regain control. The fighting has caused a severe humanitarian crisis, with widespread hunger, disease, and displacement. The conflict involves regional powers, ideological divides, and political disagreements, making peace difficult. It is primarily a struggle over political power and influence, with millions suffering due to ongoing violence and shortages.
