Yemenis lift placards and flags of the former South Yemen, later adopted by the country's southern separatist movement, during a rally calling on Yemen's Aden-based government to improve living conditions on January 14, 2025. After Yemen's government was pushed out of the capital Sanaa by Iran-backed Huthi rebels in 2014, neighbouring Saudi Arabia headed in 2015 an international military coalition in a campaign to dislodge the Huthis, with the ensuing war causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, and one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Meanwhile, the ousted, Saudi-backed government now based in Aden, has long struggled to finance basic services. (Photo by Saleh Al-OBEIDI / AFP) (Photo by SALEH AL-OBEIDI/AFP via Getty Images)
