their impact inside Yemen. Moreover, it sheds light on the Saudi Arabia-Iranian war
in the region, and the use of proxy war in weak countries. The study also shows the
changes that occurred in Yemen after the 2011 Arab Spring and the subsequent civil
war and the flight of the Yemeni president, that led to the Decisive Storm by Saudi
Arabia against the Iranian tide. This research studies external and internal effects that
lead to bad situation in Yemen with clarifying the geopolitical dimensions of the
proxy war waged by both Saudi Arabia and Iran in Yemen. The research also shows
the wars and conflicts resulting from the successive periods of Yemen's rule and the
transition that occurred through changing the system of government from the
monarchy to the republic, and the fears of Yemen's neighboring countries of being
affected by the current system of government in Yemen. The attempts to imitate the
Yemeni experience in their countries, from a monarchy to a republic, which led
neighboring countries to fuel the Yemeni conflicts. This thesis is supported by a
survey of a group of cases from different age groups and Yemeni governorates about
the variables that occur, which are the most influential on the political, social, and
economic scene in Yemen. The aim is to provide an understanding of the effects of
