On September 21, 2014, Yemen entered a new phase when the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement took control of Sanaa and large parts of the country, leading to the dismantling of Yemen's state institutions and the declaration of an de facto authority using weapons. The Houthis capitalized on the tensions caused by the removal of fuel subsidies in July 2014, while the Yemeni government faced resistance and alliances with former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who was killed in 2017. The conflict intensified between the Houthis and the Yemeni army supported by the Saudi-led coalition, resulting in the country being divided both geographically and institutionally. The Houthis' control of the capital and Sanaa established an informal administrative system, amid deteriorating economic and service conditions, leading to a wide humanitarian crisis affecting over 22 million people in need of assistance and widespread outbreaks of diseases. The conflict continues to this day.
