Description

**International Conference**

YEMEN: WAR, POLITICS AND HUMAN TRAGEDY

Yemenis arose in the 2011 Arab Spring in a revolt against the regime. Since 2014, the on-going political strife has erupted into a full-blown humanitarian catastrophe, claiming hundreds of thousands of civilians due to armed violence, starvation, and the worst outbreak of cholera in history, affecting millions, including 600,000 children.

Through the commentary and analysis of experts and academics, The Cordoba Foundation attempts to shed light on one of the most tragic conflicts that has far-reaching implications beyond the Middle East.

Speakers include:

H.E. Abdulrahman Al-Hamdi – Former Yemen ambassador to the Czech Republic; former member of the Yemeni Parliament.

Prof Stefan Wolff – Political scientist, specialising in international security, Birmingham University.

Dr Maria Holt – a Reader in Politics at the University of Westminster.

Bill Law – Award-winning journalist.

Toby Cadman – Barrister, International law specialist.

Carol Turner – Vice Chair, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament

Dan Glazebrook – Political writer and author.

Victoria Brittain – Journalist and writer.

Dr Marwan al-Ghafory – German-Yemeni writer

Hugh Miles – Award-winning journalist and author, presenter and producer specialising in the Middle East.

Ahmed Al-Dubai – Professor in School of Computing, Edinburgh Napier University.

Usama Butt – Director, Institute for Islamic Strategic Affairs

Free Admission.
