Yemen’s Wars at a Turning Point - a podcast by The Century Foundation
from 2021-03-09T11:55:39
Soon after taking office, President Biden announced that the United States would stop contributing offensive weapons to the war in Yemen. “This war has to end,” the president said. But the complex conflict in Yemen appears, to the contrary, to be heading for a new round of intense fighting, this time around the city of Marib.
On this episode of Order from Ashes, we talk to two analysts who know Yemen intimately: Nadwa al-Dawsari and Peter Salisbury. It might be possible for the United States to wash its hands of the Yemen war, they argue, but very hard for Washington to catalyze a resolution. What are the realistic options, and what’s best for the long-suffering civilians caught in the conflict?
Participants include:
- Nadwa Al-Dawsari, non-resident fellow, Middle East Institute
- Peter Salisbury, senior analyst, Yemen, International Crisis Group
- Thanassis Cambanis, senior fellow, The Century Foundation
