متلازمة الدور القبلي والمذهبي في النزاع اليمني

الملخص EN

Yemenis characterized by a complex social structure based on tribal, sectarian and doctrinal foundations that are intertwined with political, social and economic aspects, which have led to the problem of national unity in Yemen.

both the tribe and sectarian is affected the general policy of the Yemeni state due to the strength that the latter gained for several considerations (historical, political, and religious), which was noted in its development with the outbreak of the political and social movement in early 2011.

where did the external parties, especially the regional ones, find the opportunity to intervene in Yemen? where the kingdom of Saudi Arabia relied on its alliance with the sheikhs of the largest tribes in Yemen (Hashid, Bakil) against the regime of former president "Ali Abdullah Saleh", who, in turn, relied, during his thirty years of rule, on the tribe to maintain his position, meanwhile, Iran tended to support the Houthi movement ideologically (Shiite) and financially to confront the Saudi Sunni presence in Yemen.

the tribe and sectarianism became local Yemeni actors that were employed to fight a proxy war on behalf of Saudi Arabia and Iran.

this has turned the political and social movement in Yemen into a conflict that is difficult to find a solution، due to the multiplicity of its parties.
