Dr. Charles Schmitz on the Yemeni Civil War’s Past, Present, and Future

Georgetown Journal of International Affairs (GJIA) Season 1 Episode 5

While the Yemeni Civil War war has continued since 2015, the Yemeni people have suffered, creating the world’s largest humanitarian crisis; thousands of civilians have died as a result of the Saudi-led coalition’s airstrike and preventable causes like malnutrition, disease, and poor health. Professor Charles Schmitz joins GJIA to uncover what actions are currently being taken to combat the crisis, the root causes aside from the war that contributed to the economic collapse, and the probability of political negotiations in the future.
