When it comes to armed conflicts, it is almost inevitable to see civilian casualties as a result. Yemen is not only the theater of a civil war or a humanitarian crisis, it is also a crystal clear example of outside state actors involving themselves in a proxy war in order to advance their geopolitical interests. Nearly three years later, a civil war still rages on between the Houthis, who receive constant support from Iran, and a coalition of Sunni Arab states led by Saudi Arabia. Taking advantage of this powerless administration, a rebel group called the Houthis a nd rebels still loyal to former President Saleh, sought to take hold o f the country in March 2015. However, the prospect of a brighter future for Yemen soon faded as President Hadi failed to find solvency for issues such as hunger, insecurity, corruption, unemployment, and attacks by alQaeda.
In 2011, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi replaced Ali Abdullah Saleh as p resident of Yemen, a change that initially was thought to bring stability to their nation. As the Arab Spring gained momentum throughout North Africa and the Middle East, Yemen fell victim to the same rapid political change seen in other countries.
