Over 120 people were reportedly killed during fighting in a Middle Eastern capital on Friday, but it wasn't Baghdad or Damascus. With a Shi'ite rebel movement marching on Sana'a, Yemen, now seems like it's primed to be the next country in the region to stare down the prospect of violent collapse.

Yemen has always been one of the region's most problematic countries. Home to over 25 million people, it's one of the poorest countries in the Arab League and has one of the world's highest number of firearms per capita.
