How did political parties in Yemen evolve? How did mass movements emerge over the past years? Why has civic life become militarized, accompanied by the rise of identity-based discourse and militias? What is needed to reform political parties and build a genuine democracy? And how can civil society and female leadership fill the vacuum?
These questions are addressed by political expert Wameedh Shakir, who shares the story of her journey in political activism and civic engagement in this episode of the Mujaz podcast.
This episode is part of a series produced by the Sana’a Center for Strategic Studies, highlighting the need to reform political life in the face of increasing militia dominance and the pursuit of real democracy.
