The state of Yemen in 2023 is precarious. After the Arab Spring
revolution descended into civil war, the Houthis have cemented
their power over large swathes of Northern Yemen, while the
traditional ruling parties have fractured and, in many cases,
disintegrated. In this final episode of our mammoth exploration of
the history of Yemen - and indeed season 4 of Conflicted - we bring
things up to the modern day, stepping back from historical
narrative to try and make sense of what has happened and what it
means for the country and the region. Over the course of this
season, we've taken listeners through all the historical
antecedents to modern Salafi Jihadism from Ahmad Bin Hanbal in the
eighth century to Sayyid Qutb in the 1960s. We've looked at the
Muslim Brotherhood, President Erdogan of Turkey, Iran, and their
proxies across the region like Hezbollah. And now, as the conflict
between Israel and Hamas in Gaza continues, we can see so many of
the themes and ideas that we've talked about this series playing
out in real time. This final episode, which sees us joined for the
final time by Yemeni political activist Baraa Shaiban, attempts to
make sense of current events in Yemen and beyond in the context
of Salafi and Shia jihadism. We ask what the future holds for
the Middle East, and what we can learn from the tumultuous history
of the region as the world attempts to bring peace to the
geopolitical situation of today. Join our FB Discussion group to
