Regional Security Analyst (RSA) Kierat Ranautta-Sambhi wrote about the continued obstacles to achieving lasting peace in Yemen for The Geopolitics.
“While the resumption of peace talks in Sweden illuminated a ray of hope for a diplomatic/political route to ending the conflict in Yemen, there’s still a long way to go to achieving peace in the country.
It’s crucial to remember that the Sweden talks were only “consultations”, intended to establish “confidence-building measures” ahead of any actual peace negotiations. The warring parties’ ability to make some progress doesn’t necessarily bode well for any future peace talks on issues of substance.”
