The War in Yemen, with Katherine Zimmerman - on Midrats

It is a civil war, tribal war, religious war, and proxy war with local, regional, and global implications.

The specific and larger implications of the war in Yemen will be our topic for the full hour this Sunday from 5-6pm Eastern with our guest Katherine Zimmerman.
