Since Yemen was already considered a poor country, the conflict between the Republic of Yemen Government and the Houthi rebels made matters worse. This led to Saudi Arabia contributing to controversial air strikes with the intention to help reinstate President Hadi’s position in the government, which in-turn is responsible for a great portion of civilian deaths. Having the US involved to peacefully put an end to the war would help save many civilian lives. By doing so, the crises in Yemen can be resolved adequately, and allow for the nation to prosper and grow once more. The Republic of Yemen Government and Houthi rebels must come to a ceasefire and truce, but this may only be reached by the assistance of the United

Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the conflict was based on the fear that the war could overspill into its borders, and therefore, it protected its interests by lending material support to Imam Mohammed Al-Bdr (Little 68). The republican forces viewed the provision of material support to royal forces by Saudi Arabia as interference in the internal affairs of Yemen.
