Yemeni Civil War: Spring 2024 Crisis Simulation
Information
Summary - The Yemeni Civil War officially began in 2014, though the country’s divisions extend further back. Yemen was divided into a Soviet-aligned country in the south and east (including the former British protectorate of Aden) and a separate country in the more mountainous north and west until 1990. Ali Abdullah Saleh ruled a then-unified Yemen until 2012, a period marked by unrest and minor conflicts in the northwest of the country around the capital, Sanaa, a majority-Shia area and the core of the eventual Houthi rebel movement. After Saleh was ousted from power, a transitional government under Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi was formed; it was this government that the well-armed, Iran-aligned Houthi rebels, also known as Ansar Allah (followers of God) rose up against in late 2014, with demands revolving around lower fuel prices, regional autonomy, and a larger say in the transitional government.
