The Yemeni Civil War: How a Failed State Became a Regional Proxy Battlefield

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the roots and trajectory of Yemen's ongoing civil war, from the 2011 uprising that ousted Ali Abdullah Saleh to the Houthi takeover of Sanaa in 2014 and the Saudi-led military intervention in 2015. They discuss the role of the Houthi movement's leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the fragmentation of the Yemeni armed forces, the emergence of the Southern Transitional Council, and the humanitarian catastrophe that has left millions on the brink of famine. The conversation also touches on the involvement of regional powers like Iran and the United Arab Emirates, and the failed peace efforts that have marked the conflict. This episode provides a clear, specific overview of the key actors, battles, and turning points in one of the world's most devastating ongoing wars.
