Drawing from the above this paper makes an assessment oft he lingering conflict in Yemen and the intervention of Saudi Arabia and how it has impacted the entire region. The main objective of the paper is to underscore the impact the conflict has on the Middle-Eastern region.

It concludes and recommends amongst other that there is the need to halt the altercation and resume political discussions in a bid to reach a dialogue, and thatf urther . militarization of the region will bring hardship and suffering to the people.
