The Yemen Civil War

As the humanitarian cost of the Yemen conflict mounted throughout 2018, pressure grew on all sides to find a nonmilitary solution.

Yemen's bloody civil war is by no means done, but recent talks between the Houthis and the internationally recognized government have left the door open to reduced hostilities.

The U.S. Senate's vote is a harsh rebuke of the White House's close cooperation with Saudi Arabia, but U.S. President Donald Trump is unlikely to be swayed.

Riyadh, wary of reliance on Western weapons suppliers and hungry for the jobs a domestic arms sector could provide, aims to someday equip its forces with equipment built at home.

As the humanitarian toll mounts, so will the political pressure on Washington to back away from the Gulf coalition's war effort.

Seeking to roll back the gains of its arch foe, Israel is calculating the risks and rewards of attacking Iranian interests in Iraq and Yemen.

The United Nations' latest effort to ease the country's civil war was over before it even began, leaving the Yemeni government and the Houthi rebels to return to the battlefield – to the benefit of Iran and regional extremist groups.

The rebel group may be trying to keep the Saudi-led coalition from gathering the international support it needs for more intense strikes on the militants.

Yemen's Houthi rebels managed to dissuade Saudi Arabian oil tankers from transiting the crucial Bab el-Mandeb strait, affecting the ability of one of the world's leading energy suppliers to deliver to their customers.

The local, GCC-led alliance fighting against Houthi rebels has been showing cracks for a while, and those cracks have only widened.
