Yémen : l'impossible unité ? - Le Dessous des cartes | ARTE

On the edge of the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen was once called "Happy Arabia." But since 2015, this country, the size of France, has been associated with endless war. Fragmented for decades between north and south, its geostrategic position between the Middle East and the Horn of Africa has prevented it from escaping interference from Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Emirates, which are now competing with each other. Counting their dead in the tens of thousands, undermined by terrorist organizations and clan wars, struck by famine, cholera, and now Covid-19, Yemenis are at their wit's end. #Yemen #YemenWar #YemenSaudiArabia 📙We recommend reading Laurent Bonnefoy's book, published by Fayard: "Yemen, from Happy Arabia to War" http://bit.ly/YemenArabie Magazine (France, 2020, 12 mins) 👉Subscribe to our channel! http://bit.ly/DDC_YouTube Also find Le Dessous des cartes on Facebook.   / ledessousdescartes   👉Find all of Émilie Aubry's shows on VOD: http://bit.ly/DDC_VOD.
