Summary/Abstract: What Yemenis are experiencing today from wars, conflicts, famine, and disease is the inevitable result of political instability for a long time. This article elaborates on the main dilemmas in the political instability in Yemen and proposes appropriate solutions. In fact, there are many reasons that led to the absence of political stability in Yemen, such as separatist calls in southern Yemen and Al-Qaeda wars. Yemeni tribes stand as a parallel political system to the Yemeni government because the Yemeni tribe has most of the state’s elements such as power, weapons, and money. The dynastic sectarian calls for the Imamate and the class like the Hashemite family claiming the right to rule Yemen simply because they related to the Prophet Muhammad. As a result, they led several wars against the Yemenis starting from the six wars in Sa'ada governorate, which lasted for six years and ended with the coup in September 2014.
