KSA was never in peace with Yemen.their conflict is historical.it would be wrong to say that Pakistani forces are fighting proxy war in Yemen because Pakistan ratified strategic alliance and it is state of active confrontation.



Let's see some history of Yemen

1)there were two parts of Yemen,South yemen;having majority of Shia population remained under sway of communist power,north Yemen;majority of sunni populatlion,due its proximity to Saudi Arabia, here KSA got hold.


2)both parts unified in 1990,after fall of Soviet Union. In 1994,aroused conflicts,and turmoil ensued, northern part(that of KSA) conquered southern part.Iran supported houthis in their freedom struggle.
