Abstract

This article gives a comprehensive overview of the genesis of the current crisis in Yemen, from the pre-1990 situation to the March 2015 airstrikes on Yemen by Saudi Arabia. The author dissects the country's party politics, the Yemen Spring, the north-south divide, and the development of Huthi power from a regional insurgency in the early 2000s to being able to launch a full coup in February 2015. He also discusses the long-term impact of the crisis, including economic collapse, the impact on oil production, the terrorist threat, and the prospects for foreign intervention.
