Given the current turmoil that is threatening to rip the country apart, wanted to share an important and timely report we just released on the Impact of the Conflict on Social Cohesion and Reconciliation in #Yemen
The report, which I co-authored with @IvanShalev and Raiman A-Hamdani, presents findings from an extensive consultation conducted by the amazing local coordinators of the @YemenPathways initiative and the @Eurpeace, reaching 1,988 participants across seven governorates, Aden, al-Dhale’e, al-Hodeidah, al-Maharah, Ma’rib, Shabwah, and Taiz.
The report focuses on five key objectives:
1- Assessing conflict’s impact on trust, cooperation, and shared values in Yemeni communities.
2- Understanding local perceptions of social cohesion in relation to peace, security, and well-being.
3- Identifying regional patterns and priorities, including youth engagement, education, economic recovery, and conflict resolution.
4- Highlighting gaps and opportunities in current reconciliation initiatives.
5- Providing actionable recommendations to strengthen social ties and peacebuilding efforts, tailored to community needs.
The report is truly the outcome of
the serious dedication and commitment of the Local Coordinators in #Yemen to
their communities and the mission of elevating local voices and identifying pathways for reconciliation.

🌍Today at the @UN Security Council: @Eurpeace Senior Advisor, @omeisy highlighted the importance of inclusive engagement for peace in #Yemen:
“Engaging all the conflict parties and civilians towards stability and peace is the only way to break the cycle of violence and end the continued transgressions and violations of the most basic human rights.”

The vast majority of Syrian refugees have no intention of returning -- despite hardship in their exile, despite Arab nations capitulating to Assad through "normalization" -- until it is safe, meaning an end to his ongoing detention, torture, repression. syacd.org/death-of-dignified…
