YEMEN: BACKGROUND TO THE CONFLICT AND CURRENT PATHS TO PEACE

YEMEN: BACKGROUND TO THE CONFLICT AND CURRENT PATHS TO
PEACE





With Arabic-German translation





The crisis in Yemen is the result of long-standing political
tensions, weakened state institutions, and a complex regional
environment. Despite numerous international initiatives, the
peace process remains fragile and sustainable progress has so far
failed to materialize.


On this evening, we would like to explore together how this
complex situation came about, which political and social factors
are hindering the path to peace, and which Yemeni approaches are
opening up new perspectives today.


We cordially invite you to join us in discussing possible future
paths for Yemen and to reflect together on how political
rapprochement, stability, and an inclusive, civil state can be
promoted.


 


Our guests will provide a variety of insights from the worlds of
politics, culture, and peace work:
