Editorially curated conflicts and rivalries Yemen is party to. Open a panel to see the specific friction points inside it.
Yemen's economy is under severe strain as Houthi attacks force the closure of Mocha port and disrupt Red Sea shipping, prompting Saudi Arabia to reroute oil tankers. Reconstruction efforts, such as the 'Road of Death' project, offer a lifeline but are overshadowed by ongoing insecurity.
Political fragmentation deepens as the anti-Houthi coalition faces internal conflict, while international actors like Pakistan, Egypt, and Iran respond to Houthi actions. Saudi Arabia's blockade continues, and the UN warns of funding shortfalls for humanitarian programs.
Security remains the dominant crisis: Houthi attacks on Saudi refineries, ports, and shipping kill dozens, while US strikes are reported to have killed 153 civilians. The Houthis also launch major offensives against Saudi-backed forces, and Yemeni forces conduct operations against the Houthis.
Yemen's society is fractured by a divided education system that leaves students' futures uncertain, while civilian casualties from Houthi attacks and US strikes mount. Solidarity movements, such as support for a Syrian student, highlight social tensions.
