Yemen’s Fragile Four-Year Lull Shows Signs of Breaking Down

Yemen has had a quieter period lasting about four years.

Now, that calm seems to be weakening.

Fighting is increasing inside the country between Houthi forces and government forces.

The Houthis are also having more disagreements with Saudi Arabia near the border.

These tensions could grow into a much larger war.

A bigger conflict could make the Middle East less stable.

The article says many of the groups involved may think they gain something by increasing pressure.

That makes it harder for them to choose peace.
