Yemen is currently involved in non-international armed conflicts with Houthi rebels and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula on its territory. Upon request of President Hadi, an international coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been intervening in the conflict since 2015. However, as the intervention takes place with the consent of the state, the nature of the conflict is not affected.
