Yemen: the country that could not cope with its own history

Yemen, a region with a rich history, has resisted conquests for centuries and is known for its ancient engineering marvels like the Marib Dam. This dam transformed the desert into fertile land, supporting agriculture for thousands of years. Despite its historical significance, Yemen faces ongoing conflict, particularly with Houthi attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure and the city of Taiz. The situation complicates regional stability, as neither Saudi Arabia nor its allies desire an extended war, yet the threat from Islamist rebels persists.
