Why was the Stockholm Agreement “never actually signed”? How did international pressure to save the port of Hodeidah come at the expense of Yemeni sovereignty? What role did Iran and the Houthis play in derailing the Kuwait negotiations? Are Yemen’s peace talks genuine efforts—or merely a political façade?
How has the power-sharing system contributed to Yemen’s collapse? Why did the National Dialogue Conference fall short, and what explains the continued failure to resolve the Southern issue since the 1994 war?
In this episode, Rana Ghanem—Assistant Secretary General of the Nasserist Unionist People’s Organization and the only woman in the Yemeni government’s negotiating team—shares a rare, firsthand account of the country’s most critical political moments. Drawing on over 30 years of political experience and access to high-level negotiations, Ghanem offers startling testimony and previously unheard insights from behind closed doors.
This episode is part of a series by the Sana’a Center for Strategic Studies, exploring Yemen’s political trajectory through the voices of those shaping it.
