Crisis Group Yemen Update #4


NEW BRIEFING NOTE FROM CRISIS GROUP

Crisis Group Yemen Update #4

In its fourth weekly briefing note in our campaign to support actions that could help end Yemen’s four-year-old civil war, Crisis Group looks at the impact of fighting near the Saudi-Yemeni border and strains on the ceasefire around Hodeida, as well as international developments.

Importantly, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a joint resolution on Wednesday that if it became law would direct the removal of U.S. armed forces from “hostilities in or affecting the Republic of Yemen, except United States Armed Forces engaged in operations directed at al-Qaeda or associated forces” within 30 days of enactment. Action now shifts to the Senate.
