Abstract

Abstrac

 The article discusses the Yemeni crisis which began as a result of the internal and regional impact of the Arab Spring in 2011. The crisis involved all internal Yemeni players, in addition to the involvement of major regional players, mainly The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and its Gulf allies such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on one hand and Iran on the other. The magnitude of this crisis encouraged international powers, mainly, the U.S to get involved, thus escalating the conflict and its consequences. The article will be exploring the diverse and intense dynamics which the conflict has, figuring the interactions among them in an attempt to provide a profound understanding of this crisis and its horrific toll on humanity, which will be discussed in the end of the article.
