Answer 2

The Yemen Civil War is the result of several different factors.

Historic Division: Probably the most important is that the unification of Yemen was hard-won and was only really won on the battlefield. North Yemen and South Yemen had been independent of one another for centuries before the unification. Over that time differences in culture, political organization, language, and societal interactions had developed. Importantly, the border between North Yemen and South Yemen had become the Ottoman Imperial border, which meant that Yemenis would go to war against one another when the Ottoman Empire would try to expand or the South Yemenis would try to take North Yemen back.

Religious Differences: North Yemen is predominantly Zaidi (Fiver) Shiite Muslim and South Yemen is predominantly Shafi'i Sunni Muslim. As a result they two groups have historically been of the opinion that the others (the Sunnis in North Yemen or the Shiites in South Yemen) were heretics and should be persecuted. Correspondingly, creating a unified country is difficult when each group expects to persecute the others. Add to this that the Sunni-Shiite conflict in Yemen serves as a proxy war for Saudi Arabia (the Sunni superpower in the Middle East) and Iran (the Shiite superpower in the Middle East), allowing both sides to supply Yemeni compatriots in this indirect contest of wills.

Al-Qaeda: Prior to September 11th, al-Qaeda was relatively strong in Yemen, leading to an alliance between the previous President Saleh and the US government to root them out. Even though the Yemeni Revolt in 2011 (part of the Arab Spring) deposed Saleh, al-Qaeda was still opposed to his successor, al-Hadi, who wished to continue removing al-Qaeda from Yemen. However, since al-Qaeda is opposed to both the North Yemeni Houthis, because of the Sunni-Shiite divide, and is opposed to the South Yemeni government, because al-Hadi is the leader of the South Yemeni government and widely supported in the south, al-Qaeda has become a third party in the conflict, seeking to ruin both the Northern Houthis and the Southern Militias.

"Yemen doesn't Matter: Since Yemen is a country far from the international spotlight, very little energy is spent by organizations to try and find an option for restoring the peace. Without international help to reconcile the different groups, or even to limit human rights violations during the conflict, the prospects for peace are minimal.
