The conflict in Yemen, which began in 2014, has fundamentally altered the country's territorial map over the past decade. Despite significant military campaigns and international intervention, the nation remains divided among competing power centers. The Houthi movement, which seized control of the capital city of Sanaa early in the conflict, continues to maintain its hold on the city and surrounding northern territories.

While front lines have fluctuated due to various offensives and shifting alliances, the current state of the country is defined by a lack of central authority. Various factions, including the internationally recognized government and the Houthi forces, control distinct pockets of territory, leading to a protracted stalemate. Analysts note that the maps of 2024 look significantly different from those of 2014, yet the core political and military deadlock persists. The ongoing fragmentation has complicated humanitarian efforts and hindered prospects for a unified national government. As the conflict enters its second decade, the territorial boundaries remain fluid in some regions, while other areas have seen long-term entrenchment by local militias and political factions.
