While the Egyptian government recognizes the right to freedom of religion, there are many restrictions on building churches and other practices. The Muslim Brotherhood serves as a major threat to the current Egyptian government. It was classified as a terrorist group in 2013 due to its opposition against Al-Sisi, Egypt's President. The government held mass trials for members of the Muslim Brotherhood, giving death sentences to those found guilty. The Egyptian government instituted a resettlement plan to encourage citizens to move to the Sinai Desert, the homeland to the Bedouins, a traditionally nomadic minority. These resettlement plans would restrict their movement.

The latest legislative action against Muslims is “anti-conversion” laws, which perpetuate the Islamophobic conspiracy theory that Muslim men lure Hindu women into romantic relationships and then convince them to convert to Islam. Military and police forces regularly arrest, beat, torture, and kill Muslim citizens, particularly those in Kashmir and Assam.

    Yemen Country Overview Nations Online Project Targeted Groups Perpetrators Alert Status Genocide Stage(s) Yemeni Civilians Migrants LGBTQIA+ People Israel Houthis Yemeni Government Saudi-led Coalition Southern Transitional Council Emergency Stage 9: Extermination, Stage 10: Denial Details The conflict between the Houthi rebel movement and the Yemeni government stems from longstanding political and economic grievances. The Houthis, lacking recognized statehood or formal political institutions, first appeared in the 1990s as a revivalist movement for the Zaydi sect of Islam, a minority faith in Yemen. Over the years, the group evolved into an armed political actor and developed close ties with Iran, situating itself within the broader “axis of resistance” opposing Western influence. Tensions with the Yemeni state escalated during the 2000s, as the Houthis launched repeated uprisings against President Ali Abdullah Saleh, demanding greater autonomy and resources for the northern regions. Their position solidified in 2014 when they captured Sana’a, citing the need for government reform and protesting steep fuel price increases. Northern Yemen’s neglect of infrastructure, education, and healthcare fueled resentment against central authorities. Houthi grievances escalated during the Arab Spring, when protests in Sana’a against President Saleh turned violent. By 2013, Abdul Malik al-Houthi mobilized mass demonstrations against fuel subsidy cuts, channeling public anger into demands for regime change. Iranian backing further strengthened the group’s insurgency Read Report Page last updated: 01/19/2026 Resources Inside the World’s Worst Humanitarian Crisis Yemen’s Tragedy: War, Stalemate, and Suffering Genocide Emergency Alert: Yemen July 2020
