2019 Public Seminar “History, Culture, and Society in the Arabian Peninsula” (12th session)
The civil war in Yemen since 2015 has been called “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis” (United Nations) and is an extremely difficult case of civil war to understand. Reasons and objectives of the civil war are unclear. It is also difficult to grasp the existence of the main actors in the civil war such as the Houthis and the Southern Movement, as well as the aspect of a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. This seminar will examine the Yemeni civil war from various perspectives and point out the characteristics seen in its development.
