This could set a very dangerous precedent

Today we’re joined by Dr. Lesley Warner and Andrew Leber to discuss the Houthis and the regional dynamics at play across the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Lesley is a visiting scholar with the Africa Program and Andrew is a nonresident scholar in the Middle East Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Where they just authored a Q&A titled, “The Impacts of the Houthis’ Advance Could Extend Well Beyond Saudi Arabia”
