The war in Yemen – will talks in Geneva make any progress towards peace?
After three years of a devastating war in Yemen there is a new effort underway towards finding a peaceful resolution.
A U.N. mediator hopes that the warring sides will engage during talks in Geneva this week.
But, what do both sides want? And what will it take to end the conflict? CGTN’s Natalie Carney reports on the story from Geneva.
To discuss:
- Sama’a Al-Hamdani is a Yemeni political commentator.
- Fahad Nazer is a columnist for Arab News.
- Mohammad Marandi is a professor of North American Studies at the University of Tehra
- Richard Becker is a coordinator with ANSWER, Act Now to Stop War.
