Welcome to the Yemen Policy Center’s latest English language Kaleidoscope podcast.  Common to ceasefires and peace negotiations are complex discussions, with actors seeking maximum gains at minimal cost. As a current truce holds in Yemen, we share a recent discussion on the difficulties of dialogue, such as the involvement of regional actors and the attractions of a war economy, as well as the opportunities, such as the need to center civil society and marginalized Yemenis as peace actors.  YPC’s Ibrahim Jalal is joined by Nadwa al-Dawsari, political and conflict analyst and non-resident scholar at the Middle East Institute, and Mohammed Al-Qadhi, journalist and analyst.  As Yemen's conflict continues, we want to bring a new impetus to discussions about peace. With our Kaleidoscope project, we provide a new source for inspiration for peace making ideas.  We want to bring thinkers and experts together to combine perspectives and explore new angles. We want to work across disciplines, combine fiction with research, and inspire everyone to think beyond boundaries.   Find out more: https://www.yemenpolicy.org/kaleidoscope/ For more on Yemen by Yemenis, sign up to our newsletter: https://www.yemenpolicy.org/#Newsletter Watch the discussion, and share your thoughts with us via social media, or contact us.
