Yemen's complex civil war has been going on for six years. It's aggravated decades-long divisions between north and south. They joined to form one country in 1990, but it's been an uneasy unity. Secessionists in the south now say they're going to govern alone.

Hadi's government condemned the declaration as catastrophic and dangerous. How will this complicate efforts to end the war?
