Yemen

Yemen is a country embroiled in a complex and protracted conflict, leading to a severe humanitarian crisis. The conflict involves various actors, including the internationally recognized government, the Southern Transitional Council (STC), and the Houthis, who control the north. Recent news highlights the intensification of power struggles, with former allies Saudi Arabia and the UAE drifting apart, and local factions vying for control. The humanitarian situation is worsening, marked by alarming food shortages affecting families across the country. Reports also detail the existence of UAE-run secret prisons within Yemen, where detainees have allegedly faced torture and abuse. The conflict continues to draw international attention due to its impact on regional stability, the involvement of foreign powers, and the dire humanitarian consequences for the Yemeni population. A recent bombing targeted a convoy of a group allied with Yemen’s Saudi-backed government, killing five people and wounding three others.
