What's the origin of civil war in Yemen?

 Civil war in Yemen is often called the worst humanitarian crisis in XXI century. Now, after more than 7 years of this war, there isn't a single sign that it's going to end soon. Origin of this conflict is very complex. Firstly, until 1990 Yemen was divided to two countries, each of them with different form of government (South Yemen was communist and North was Arab state), and union of this two countries caused discontent of Southern people because of better treatment of North. Main sides of this conflict are: organization called "Houthi", coalition of Arab countries which is supporting formal president of Yemen, separatists from south of Yemen and ISIS.

Another origin of this conflict is religion, because Zaydits (Shi'ites)  which are repres...

Winter war - how USSR lost to 4 milion nation?

For example, since 24 of February, Kazakhstan government rapidly turned against Russia, banning Russian as mandatory language in schools, or refusing to help and recognize DPR, LPR, ZPR and KPR. Secondly, after Azerbaijan attacked Armenia, Russia refused to send military help to Armenia, even though they are in military alliance.

And recently Russia illegally annexed 4 of Ukrainian oblasts (Kherson,  Zaporizhzhia , Donetsk and Luhansk), which they don't even fully control. Now, none of civilized countries is treating Russia as one of them. Even...
