Following the collapse of the Communist government in South Yemen, and the subsequent unification with North Yemen in 1990, a border agreement between Oman and Yemen was signed on 1 October 1992 which finalised the frontier at its current position.[9][10] The border region remained largely peaceful during the various civil wars in Yemen since them. During the current war the border has remained under Yemen government control, though there have been reports of arms smuggling across the frontier, and Omani and Saudi interference in Yemen's Al Mahra Governorate.[11]
