The Yemeni civil war of 1994 (Arabic: الحرب الأهلية اليمنية (1994)), known in Yemen as the 1994 Summer War (Arabic: حرب صيف 1994), was a civil war fought between the two Yemeni forces of the pro-union northern and the socialist separatist southern Yemeni states and their supporters. The war resulted in the defeat of the southern separatists and the reunification of Yemen, and the flight into exile of many leaders of the Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP) and other separatists.
