Yemeni Civil War
The Yemeni Civil War began in 2014 when Houthi rebels, a Shia Muslim sect, ousted the government, leading to a conflict involving multiple factions. The internationally recognized government, based in the south, received support from a Saudi-led coalition aiming to restore its authority. The war has caused a severe humanitarian crisis, with widespread hunger, disease, and displacement. It is driven by political, religious, and regional power struggles, with Yemen caught in a complex, ongoing struggle for control, stability, and influence among local groups and foreign actors.
