For many, the war in Yemen has become a story of numbers. At least 10 thousand people killed, 2 million displaced from their homes, and millions more on the brink of famine.
Now, 1,000 days since the start of the conflict, Houthi rebels say they launched a ballistic missile targeting a royal palace in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
Arguably, their strongest display of defiance yet.
The power struggle between the Houthis, a shia rebel group and president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who’s backed by a Saudi-led coalition, has turned into a regional confrontation. And as always, it’s civilians who are suffering the most.
So, what’s been achieved in the 1,000 days since the conflict began?

Iran will one day, along with Hezboshaitan and Russia, no longer be able to hide from it's devious lies, propaganda, and unholy treatment to the countries surroundnig it.
In time, the world will soon see what Iran has done to the Arabs.
Keep out the wahabi Saudis and you'll see peace reign in
