Brief descriptions
Syria
- Began in 2011 with anti‑government protests that escalated into a multi‑party civil war after the Assad government used violent repression.
- Key parties: the Assad regime (backed by Russia, Iran and Hezbollah), a shifting array of opposition and rebel groups (Free Syrian Army, Islamist factions such as Hay’at Tahrir al‑Sham), Kurdish forces in the northeast, and extremist groups including ISIS.
- Major features: heavy urban combat, sieges, mass displacement and refugee flows, widespread destruction, and documented use of chemical weapons and other atrocities. Russia’s 2015 military intervention helped the Assad government regain control of much of the country.
- Human cost: hundreds of thousands killed and millions displaced internally and as refugees; a long‑running humanitarian crisis.
Yemen
- The current phase grew out of the 2011 unrest; in 2014–2015 Houthi forces seized Sana’a and large parts of the country, ousting the internationally recognized government of President Hadi.
- Key parties: Houthi rebels (with alleged Iranian support) vs the Hadi government backed by a Saudi‑led coalition (including the UAE), with AQAP and ISIS present in parts of the country.
- Major features: Saudi‑led air campaign and blockade, ground fighting, collapse of many state institutions, widespread civilian suffering, cholera outbreaks, and severe food insecurity.
- Human cost: tens or hundreds of thousands dead (direct and indirect), millions displaced, and what the UN calls one of the world’s worst humanitarian emergencies—effectively a failed state in many areas.
