Exactly four years ago, Yemen's presidential palace was taken over by Houthi rebels, a decisive day for the country that has since sunk into a deadly civil war that has triggered a humanitarian disaster. A FRANCE 24 team travelled to northern Yemen, a region held by Shiite Houthi rebels that has been at the centre of a Saudi-led military campaign. Vehicles zip through this part of Yemen, a scenic region of lofty volcanic plateaus once ruled by ancient kings. "There were more bombardments yesterday. They can strike at any moment, you never know when … it's very tense here," explains Mohamad, a Houthi driver. Since a Saudi-led coalition intervened to try to overthrow the Houthis in 2015, this area has come under almost daily bombardment. The conflict has drawn in regional proxies with Iran supporting the Shiite Houthis against a coalition of Gulf Arab Sunni Muslim states.
