“…The BY started as a network of educational centers for the marginalized northern Yemeni youth. When they began to open their summer camps around 1994 they simultaneously began to politicize the Zaydi cause (Freeman 2009(Freeman :1008. By this time, between 10,000 and 15,000 students from the Sadaa and neighboring governorates attended these camps.…”

Civil war theory testing: How greed, horizontal inequalities, and institutions explain the Yemeni civil war between 2004 and 2009? This article applies a comparative design to test the explanatory power of formal quantitative models of civil war. It examines the grievance, horizontal inequalities, and institutional models of civil war through the case study of the Yemeni civil war between 2004 and 2009. The aim is to highlight political processes that culminate in civil war, and to account for omitted variables in theories of civil war. In the Yemeni case these variables were the competitive rebel market and tribalism. The article shows that civil wars are not isolated events, but parts of a cycle of violence. By accounting for micro-level motives the causal processes that lead to civil wars can be better understood.

Zusammenfassung: Gewalt im Nahen Osten ist immer stärker Produkt eines konstruierten, schiitisch-sunnitischen Konflikts, der entscheidend den Möglichkeitsraum saudischer Außenpolitik definiert. Anhand der Präsentation des Huthi-Konflikts in saudischen Medien lässt sich untersuchen, wie der Konflikt als konfessionell motiviert präsentiert wird. So lässt sich feststellen, inwiefern Konfession immer stärker die Wahrnehmungs-und Erklärungsstrukturen im saudischen Identitätsdiskurs prägt und inwiefern eine bewusste Instrumentalisierung von Konfession als Erklärungs-kategorie vorliegt.Abstract: Violence in the Middle East increasingly stems from a constructed Sunni-Shia conflict, which decisively makes up the possibilities of formulating Saudi foreign policies. Based on the Houthi Rebellion´s presentation in the Saudi Media it is possible to investigate to what extent the conflict is perceived and presented as the product of a wider confessional conflict between Shiites and Sunnis. Accordingly it is possible to assess to what extent confession shapes explanatory and perceptional patterns within the Saudi identity discourse, and how confession is being instrumentalized. 2 P. J.

“…The slogan drew ire from Saleh's regime, whose partnership with the United States had strengthened in recent years. In 2004, clashes between Houthi supporters and the government left more than 20 dead in Sana'a, sparking the first Saada war and leading to the death of Hussein Houthi 33. Hussein Houthi became a martyr for the movement's cause and galvanized its members against the state.…”

Yemen: Between Revolution and Regression

Yemen once again descended into chaos in November 2014, when the Houthis seized control of Sana'a. Saudi Arabia and its GCC partners, along with mainstream media, characterized the conflict as a sectarian proxy-war with Iran. However, this narrative fails to acknowledge the trajectory of Yemen's Arab Spring revolt. This article refutes this narrative by using theories of revolution to connect the Arab Spring revolt to the current conflict. Situating Yemen within a broader revolutionary moment sheds light on patterns of revolution in Third World societies and the likely outcome of the current conflict.
