- Intervention
in Yemen - AlJazeera English - Nov 15, 2009
- As Saudi Arabia mobilises its forces on the Yemeni border, Iran demands that outside forces stay out of the war between the government and Houthi fighters in Yemen. Is a local insurrection turning into a war between the region's strongest powers? Are we seeing the birth of another proxy war in the Middle East? and who is likely to come out on top?

- Yemen rebels accuse government of breaking truce - 22 Sep 09 - Al Jazeera via Youtube.com
- Rebel Houthi fighters in northern Yemen have accused the government of breaking the latest ceasefire, saying there has been no sign of any let up in violence around the city of
Saada. But Yemen's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, said the rebels, who are mostly from the Shia Zaydi sect, had ignored the ceasefire offer and accused them of killing civilians and using "human shields".
This comes after the government claimed it had killed more than 140 fighters who had attacked its regional headquarters.
Fighting between the rebels and government forces have flared since the army launched its latest operation in August in Saada and Amran provinces.
The government says the rebels want to restore a Shia state that fell in the 1960s and accuse Shia power Iran of maintaining contacts with them.
The rebels say they want autonomy and accuse Saleh, who is himself a Shia
Zaydi, of despotism and corruption in a drive to stay in power, as well as introducing Sunni fundamentalism via his alliance with Saudi Arabia.

- Yemen's president says Iran supports Houthis - 9 Sept 09 - Al Jazeera via Youtube.com
- Yemeni government forces have been fighting Houthi loyalists in the country's north for weeks, vowing to crush them with an "iron fist".
Ali Abdallah Saleh, the president, now speaks exclusively to Al
Jazeera, saying the recent lull in fighting was not a truce and blaming Iran for supporting the rebels. He says the military operations were halted only to allow aid agencies into the area where civilians are caught between the two sides.
Tarek Bazley reports on the conflict which some fear could develop into a regional war.
- North Yemen locals weary after years of war - 07 Sept 09
- Despite the latest attempts at a ceasefire, there is still sporadic fighting in northern Yemen. Failure to stop the five year long war will increase fears of further destabilisation across the region. The Yemeni government claim Shia Muslim Huthi rebels are being backed by Iran. Neighbouring Saudi Arabia's worried that Yemen is the main recruiting ground for Al
Qaeda. Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra has the latest from the Yemeni capital
Sana'aa.
- Inside Story - Doubts over Yemen's future - Sep 7 2009
- The five-year long fighting between government forces and Houthi fighters in the north of Yemen has cast a shadow on the future of this Arab country.
Houthi fighters, who are Zaidi Shia Muslims, are seeking independence from a government which they say is corrupt and too close to Saudi Arabia.
The latest round of fighting started in Yemen's north last month and has continued primarily in Saada province.
It is estimated that more than 100,000 people have been displaced in the fighting in Saada and UN aid agencies are warning that Yemen is on the brink of a humanitarian crisis.
Just four hours after a truce was declared on Saturday, fighting had resumed with both sides claiming the other had broken the ceasefire.
Is Yemen heading for another civil war? And how are regional powers influencing events in a country considered a breeding ground for extremist groups?
Inside Story presenter Sohail Rahman is joined by Hakim
Almasmari, the editor-in-chief of the Yemen Post, Tahar Qassim, the chairman of the Liverpool Arabic
Centre, and Steven Park, the founder of Sema Group, a global security company.
- Yemeni rebels and government cease fire - 5 Sept 09 - Al Jazeera via Youtube.com
- The Yemeni government has said that it has halted military operations against the Houthi fighters to allow aid to reach civilians trapped in the conflict zone.
Up to 150,000 people are said to have been forced from their homes by intense fighting and are in need of urgent assistance.
It was unsure, however, whether the truce would hold as the conflict between the Houthi group and the government has been going on for five years, and mistrust between both sides is deep.
