| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The crisis in Yemen has been complicated by number of actors, their interest and also policies of external powers. It cannot be analyzed by focusing only on Sunni-Shia conflict in Yemen and support of Saudi Arabia and Iran in terms of this sectarian division. The division within Yemen as South and North was product of colonial history and cold war politics. Conflicts among regions, sects, power struggle among elites and conflicts of interests and proxy wars of other States are major factors in shaping current situation of Yemen. The aim of this article is to identify the interests of different actors in the recent Yemeni conflict by analyzing their relationship in past and expected strategies for future |
