Al Bawaba: A working list of the countries involved in Yemen's conflict

Between the Paris attacks and the Russian plane crash, it's not often you're hearing about Yemen anymore. But despite the media silence, war is still raging on in the Gulf country.

Since March, a Saudi-led airstrike coalition has targeted military positions of Shia Houthi rebels—and arguably a lot of other civilian stuff— across the country. And while this is a much less discussed conflict, it's certainly includes a pretty big list of countries, backing either the Saudi coalition or the Houthis.

Here is a working list of the countries involved in the fight and what they do.
