ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ

As the crisis in Yemen grew into a regional conflict involving multiple actors, it became the world's largest humanitarian catastrophe. This situation is caused by a multi-layered war that crosses a civil-war dimension, a counter-terrorism dimension, a regional dimension, and a humanitarian dimension involving major actors. This seminar looks into some of the current dimensions of the conflict, the reasons that brought us to the present situation, and addresses critical issues that will frame the discussions about the future of the country.

This seminar is part of ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ's "Yemen in Context" initiative, and is co-organized by the and .
