In this episode, we speak with Ms Al-Deen who is a non-resident fellow at the Sana'a Centre for strategic studies on the evolution of the Houthi Movement in Yemen. We cover how the Houthi's have impacted the geopolitical state of Yemen today and what their control of Sana'a means for the state apparatus of Yemen. We cover the interaction of the Houthi's with other actors in the conflict including Iran and the Southern Transitional council and gain a better understanding of the demands and motives of the Houthi leadership today. The episode serves as one of the best available primers in English to survey and understand the contemporary Houthi movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
