Yemen has been making headlines due to ongoing conflicts involving Houthi rebels, who have been targeting ships in the Red Sea and launching attacks on various targets. The US and UK have conducted multiple airstrikes against the rebels in response to these actions. Additionally, Yemen's internationally recognized presidential council recently dismissed the prime minister amidst escalating tensions with the Houthi rebels.
Yemen, officially known as the Republic of Yemen, is located in the Middle East on the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. It has a population of approximately 30 million people and its capital is Sana'a. Yemen has a history of political instability and conflict, with the Houthi insurgency being a major ongoing issue. The country has also faced humanitarian crises, including food insecurity and outbreaks of diseases such as cholera. Yemen's strategic location near key shipping routes, such as the Red Sea, has made it a focal point for regional and international interests.
