From Sanaa, Yemen report, forty-five journalists have been killed in Yemen since the fighting erupted between the internationally-recognized Yemeni government and the Houthis group in 2015, a journalists' group said Friday.
The report said that the Yemeni Journalists Syndicate, on World Press Freedom Day, said 165 press platforms stopped working and 200 local and Arab news websites have been blocked since 2015. The Syndicate, however, did not accuse any party of being behind attacks and violations against journalists..
The report added that Yemen remains divided into three zones of influence -- the legitimate government supported by Saudi Arabia, the Houthis backed by Iran, and the Southern Transitional Council (STC) supported by the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
In addition, Yemen has been embroiled in conflict since military intervention by the Saudi-led Arab coalition in March 2015 following the Houthis' seizure of the capital, Sanaa.
