Oliver Farry hosted Jules Grange Gastinel, a researcher at the Institute for Research and Studies on the Arab and Muslim World (IREMAM), to discuss the deteriorating security landscape in Yemen. Gastinel characterized the country as transitioning from a long-standing stalemate into a fresh phase of regional antagonism.
According to Gastinel, the period of relative tranquility that followed 2022 did not result in a sustainable political resolution. He noted that Yemen continues to be fragmented among competing political, financial, and military structures, leaving the nation vulnerable to renewed instability.
Is Saudi Arabia really ignoring the signs? They can’t afford another costly proxy war right now. Concerning stuff.
This analysis makes total sense. The fragile peace was never built on a political solution, just exhaustion.
