The ongoing war in Yemen's governorates since March 2015 has cast its shadow over children who try to simulate its events in their play. Some of them attempt to embody military raids, or attack and control enemy positions, and even carry out operations to capture soldiers from the other side in the conflict. Many Yemeni children now know several types of weapons, from the "Kalashnikov" to the "RPG" and the "Bazooka", all the way to anti-aircraft guns and hand grenades.
