The horrifying human toll in Yemen’s war, and backlash against the Saudi regime for other reasons, have led to both the House and Senate voting to criticize U.S. support for the Saudi role in that conflict. But Yemen has a long history of strife, and needs to be understood in its own terms. Professor Philbrick-Yadav serves on the executive committee of the American Institute of Yemeni Studies and co-edited a recent Project on Middle East Political Science report on the situation. Join us as she offers perspective on Yemen’s past, present, and possible future.
This program is made possible by the generous support of Ms. Eloise Briskin.
