Information about Yemen

North Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1918.


Three years later, the southern government adopted a Marxist orientation.



A southern secessionist movement in 1994 was quickly subdued.


Fighting in the northwest between the government and Huthi rebels, a group seeking a return to traditional Zaydi Islam, began in 2004 and has since resulted in seven rounds of fighting - the last ended in early 2010 with a tentative ceasefire.





Media reports indicated that as many as 100 protesters had been killed and many more injured amid the protests.

Domestic and international efforts to mediate a resolution to the political crisis had not yielded a deal as of mid April.
