The Siege of Taiz: War and Hunger in Yemen

This episode dives into the brutal siege of Taiz during the Yemeni Civil War, a conflict that began in 2014 when Houthi rebels seized Sana'a. We focus on the human cost of the blockade, the collapse of infrastructure, and the role of Saudi-led coalition airstrikes. The episode highlights the siege's impact on civilians, the rise of local resistance groups, and the failure of international aid to reach the city. Names like Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Saudi-led coalition, and the Hadi government are discussed. We also explore how the siege became a symbol of Yemen's fragmentation and the broader humanitarian crisis. The conversation avoids rehashing prior episodes while providing a detailed look at a critical turning point in the war.
