The country remains deeply fractured, with the growing presence of armed groups and deep-rooted corruption exacerbating the impact of the armed conflict for ordinary Yemenis within both Houthi-held areas and liberated governorates. Although there has been activity on some fronts, notably along the coast of the Red Sea, the ground war remains predominantly confined to relatively small areas. Most Yemenis therefore carry on with their lives within an economy broken by the distortions of conflict.

  • Yemen, a Possible Strategic Stage for the Rivalry Between Saudi Arabia and Iran Since 2015
    Anastasie Danset Yemen, a possible strategic stage for the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran since 2015 By Anastasie Odile Camille Danset 2149419 – 501654 November 2020 Supervisors: Dr. Ivo Hernandez Dr. Shawn Donnelly Programme: European Studies, Master of Science Comparative Public Governance, Master of Arts Institution: University of Twente, Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences, The Netherlands Westfälische-Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Department of Political Science, Germany P a g e 1 | 52 Anastasie Danset Abstract: The rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran is not recent. Symptoms of this disparity appeared in 1979, after the Iranian Islamic Revolution, and have developed over time. Whereas, before both states were allies, their relationship progressively moved into a conflictual one. They are today competing through a religious scope to become the regional power. The aim of the thesis is to analyse if the war in Yemen represent a strategic arena for Saudi Arabia and Iran's competition, and if their actions in Yemen since 2015 have developed the conflict into a proxy warfare. By following the offensive realism and security dilemma theory of the International Relations field, this thesis is examining if this rivalry has any consequences on ongoing war in Yemen. Keys words: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen, Realism, Regional Power, Shiite, Sunni, Security Dilemma, Balance of Power P a g e 2 | 52 Anastasie Danset Table of content: I.

  • We Affirm Resolved: the United States Should End Its Arm Sales to Saudi Arabia
    AFF We affirm Resolved: The United States should end its arm sales to Saudi Arabia. Our sole contention is the War in Yemen. The conflict in Yemen is widely considered to be the single worst humanitarian crisis facing the international community today. The large majority of US arms sales to Saudi Arabia are being put towards this conflict, propping up a war that has put millions of lives at risk. William Hartung at the Center for International Policy writes in September of last year that the Saudi government is reliant on US support to sustain their war efforts. Furthermore, Hartung explains that a series of Saudi war crimes, including civilian air strikes, a port blockade, and destruction of infrastructure such as hospitals, has led to massive famine and the largest cholera outbreak in decades. Pete Salisbury at the International Crisis Group quantifies last December that 22 million Yemenis need humanitarian assistance. He continues that failure to end the war would cause the conflict to develop into “the worst humanitarian disaster in our lifetime.” Ending US Arms Sales to Saudi Arabia will help resolve this conflict in two ways. First, putting pressure on Saudi Arabia for peace talks. Annie Slemrod, Middle East editor at IRIN News finds late last year that both the Houthis and Saudi coalition are facing enormous pressure because of fighting at Hodeida and international backlash to the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Thus, the dynamic now is prime for peace talks. Doug Bandow at the Cato Institute furthers in December that recent pressure from Europe after the Khashoggi killing has already led to some Saudi concessions and more productive peace talks.
