In the ancient and contested lands of Yemen, a war that has long defied resolution has sharpened once more — with Saudi Arabia accused of launching twenty-six airstrikes in a single day, and the Houthis accused in turn of striking at the heart of Islam itself. Thousands have taken to the streets of Sanaa, not merely as protesters but as people whose lives have been shaped entirely by this conflict. The struggle, rooted in rival visions of power and legitimacy, now strains the wider region and draws the attention of Washington, which sees in the chaos a fragile opening for diplomacy.
