Sana'a

Sana'a or Sanˤā' (, romanized as Ṣanʻāʼ or Sanaa), is the capital city of Yemen and the capital of Sana'a Governorate, but instead forms the separate governorate of ʾAmānat al-ʿĀṣimah (). It had a population of 1,747,627 (as of 2004). 

In the 2010s, it became a battlefield in the Civil War.  The government moved to Aden as the city fell under control of the Houthi movement, on September 21, 2014.
