Since its inception, Yemen has been in constant internal and regional crises, referring to the 1994 wars between northern and southern Yemen, as well as the invasion of its military force in 1962 by Gamal Abdel Nasser. As Yemen is located in southern Saudi Arabia, western Oman, east of the Red Sea and north of the Gulf of Aden, it has mastered the strategic strait of Bab al-Mandib, which is a vital vein of energy for the Horn of Africa, Saudi Arabia and especially Egypt. The Yemeni people have long had religious affiliations, including Shiites and Sunnis, who are currently Yemeni Shiites and Shiites. The Ismaili and Sufi religions are also on the next line. The Yemeni tribe is predominantly of the Yemeni youth. In this descriptive-analytical paper, we seek to answer this key question: What are the root causes of the Yemeni crisis that led to the expansion of the crisis? Yemen's geopolitical situation and the total internal turmoil seem to have expanded the scope of this geopolitical crisis internationally.
