She is right and the war shows no sign of abating. Yemen is by far the poorest of the Arab nations, and since the exit of Saleh has been consumed first by toxic politics and then the proxy war being fought by Saudi Arabia and Iran for the last three years. The war has been stalemated for months but the killing continued, primarily of civilians. In 1970, the government of then South Yemen adopted a communist form of government and North and South Yemen were only unified as a single country in 1990. There is going to be work for Oxfam in Yemen for years to come.
