War

2. How it all began ?
For a little more than three years, Yemen has been locked in a seemingly
intractable civil war that has killed nearly 10,000 people and pushed
millions to the brink of starvation. The conflict began in the Arab Spring of
2015, when an uprising forced the country's long-time authoritarian
president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to hand over power to his deputy, Abdrabbuh
Mansour Hadi. The political transition was supposed to bring stability to
Yemen, one of the Middle East's poorest nations, but President Hadi
struggled to deal with various problems including militant attacks,
corruption, food insecurity, and continuing loyalty of many military officers
to Saleh. Fighting began when the Houthi Shia Muslim rebel movement
took advantage of the new president's weakness and seized control of the
capital Sanaa, forcing Mr Hadi into exile abroad.

3. Who are the Houthi’s ?
The Houthi movement, officially called Ansar Allah and
colloquially simply Houthis, is an Islamic political and armed
movement that emerged from Sa'dah in northern Yemen in the
1990s. The movement was called Houthis because its founder is
from the Houthi tribe and it was emerged as an opposition to
former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh, whom they
charged with massive financial corruption and criticized for being
backed by Saudi Arabia and the United States at the expense of
Yemen's people and sovereignty.

5. Main motive of the Houthi’s ?
Houthi’s have gained control of most of
the northern part of Yemen’s territory and
since 2015 have been resisting the Saudi
led military intervention in Yemen that
claims to restore the internationally
recognized Yemeni government to power.

6. People suffering in yemen
by the war ?

7. why is Iran so interested to help the
Houthi’s ?
Iran knows that if the Houthi’s are
successful in overthrowing the Yemen
government then Iran can take over yemen
as the houthi’s are nothing without Iran’s
support.

8. How is Saudi Arabia involved in
the Yemen civil war ?
A coalition led by Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-majority
nations are supporting government forces in the bloody
civil war. Tribal groups seeking autonomy have also
become embroiled in the conflict. And US forces are
reported to be in Yemen targeting Al-Qaeda fighters.
Saudi Arabia has been fiercely criticised for launching air
strikes which have killed or maimed thousands of
civilians.

9. How we feel the Yemen civil war
can be ended ?
Obviously the simplest way to end this war is by
battling it out, but this way is also the most
destructive and sorrowful. Other ways to end the
civil war is by forming a treaty between the
Houthi’s and the government or giving the enemy
what they want only if they make a clear point on
the reason for why they want it

10. Is the Yemen civil war self
inflicted ?
Our group feels that the Yemen civil war has a possibility
that it could be self inflicted as the ex president, Abdullah
Saleh was corrupt and so the government had to take
him out of power but the next president, Mansur Hadi
was not at all capable enough to govern the whole of
Yemen and so that created a group of protesters know
as the Houthi;’s who wanted him to be throw out and so
they exiled him from Yemen.
