Abstract

The study aims at diagnosing the impact of the Yemeni conflict on the regional environment since its renewed outbreak, which coincided with the outbreak of the revolutionary upheaval in the countries of the Arab region in early 2011. The role of external parties at the regional and international levels in containing it or vice versa, and evaluating regional and international tracks and initiatives put forward by external parties in order to end that conflict, as the study also discusses the repercussions of the Yemeni conflict at the local level and the regional environment, especially in the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea, as that conflict is linked to the issues and crises of the Arab region, and is one of the most important elements of the region’s stability, not to mention the identification of the goals, roles and strategies that all parties have followed. The conflict, and to what extent the impact of that conflict has reached locally, regionally and internationally, The research also concluded several main conclusions, most notably that the conflict in Yemen stimulates the instability of minorities in neighboring countries, especially the Gulf states, and expands the circle of local, regional and possibly international conflict in the region with what is currently underway, and leads to the transformation of Yemen’s resources and wealth from development to conflict, which will negatively affect the Yemeni people and their standards of living.
