Security Council

              The Crisis in Yemen or the Yemeni Crisis is an on-going conflict emerged by the 2011 revolution against President Ali Abdullah Saleh. After a series of uprising forces, power was handed to Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, his deputy. Hadi, however, struggled to bring stability to the country. In 2014, the Muslim-Shia rebel movement of Houthi seized control of Northern Saada province. They also attempted to take control of the entire country, leaving President Hadi in an exiled state. In 2015, the situation escalated to a global scale when Saudi Arabia and a few other (mostly) Sunni Arab states got involved. These were backed up by countries such as: the US, the UK, and France. These countries targeted to aid in the restoring of Hadi’s government. Contrarily, Iran, according to Saudi Arabia, has been supporting the Houthis through weapons and logical support. The success of the rebellion group could possibly lead Yemen to experience unbelievable involvement by Iran. Currently, past president Saleh is dead, and the country is left in a state of severe infighting. This has led the Yemeni Crisis to be considered as the world’s most severe humanitarian crisis. The goal of the committee is to cease the ongoing internal conflict by restoring political stability into Yemen. Additionally, it is of high importance to address the involvement of Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the countries that contribute to major changes in the situation. Overall, this topic is of high importance due to its prevalence in civilian lives and its effect on other ongoing Middle East Asian conflicts.
