Yemen

As part of AGSIW’s Ambassadors Series, H.E. Mohammed A. Al-Hadhrami, ambassador of Yemen to the United States, discussed local developments in Yemen as well as ongoing international and domestic efforts to bring the conflict in the country to an end.

Yemen’s fragile truce is being extended, but there is still a massive amount of work needed to bring the conflict to an end.

On April 28, AGSIW hosted a virtual roundtable discussion with Tim Lenderking, the U.S. special envoy for Yemen. 

Whether the truce holds or not, Yemen’s conflict is moving into a new phase, with its own troubling issues.

Yemen’s new presidential council was made in Saudi Arabia and backed by the UAE, which means it may struggle to find legitimacy on the ground.

The length of the war and the associated costs have led the UAE to recalibrate its position in Yemen, but influence in southern Yemen remains a key part of its regional strategy.
