Prospects for the settlement of a proxy war in Yemen
(National Aviation University, 2021) Kuprash, Kateryna Mykolayivna; Купраш, Катерина Миколаївна
Yemen is one of the poorest Arab countries, and a civil war has been going on here since 2015.In general, a proxy war is a war in which two states do not fight directly, but using as parties to the conflict some third countries: their allies (satellites), providing decisive assistance with finances, equipment, military personnel. This conflict is relevant in the context of modern international relations, because it has led to a humanitarian catastrophe: millions of people are starving, do not have access to drinking water, medicine and electricity. The head of the UN World Food Program, David Bisley, recently announced a deplorable figure: 12 million people in Yemen suffer from «severe hunger.» Cholera is a rampant disease in the country. The epidemic began in April 2017, and during this time it canot be extinguished due to the destruction of health infrastructure, water and sewage treatment plants, as well as famine, which reduces the ability of the population to resist infections. The humanitarian catastrophe caused by the Hussite coup in Yemen is a revolution against the Yemeni government organized by a coalition of Hussites and Ali Abdullah Saleh. The parties to the conflict are Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who control the capital Sana’a and much of the north and west of the country. On the other hand, there is an internationally recognized government backed by Saudi Arabia, as well as supporters of the secession of South Yemen.
