Saudi Arabia: Royal Succession and Intervention in Yemen.
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 29
Abstract
In the beginning of 2015, two important events affected the Arabian Peninsula, changing the Saudi and Yemeni rulers. Saudi king Abdullah’s death ended a decade- long reign, although he ruled since 1995. Meanwhile, the Houthi rebellion in its Southern neighbor toppled Yemeni president Hadi, who rose to power in 2012. This situational analysis seeks to evaluate Riyadh’s succession process’ effects on its domestic, foreign and regional policies and Saudi assertive participation in the Yemeni crisis.
