As the conflict in Yemen continues, the creation of new fault lines and the deepening of existing divides threaten to polarise Yemeni society permanently, posing serious challenges to long-term potential peace. Despite current efforts from the UN Special Envoy to Yemen to broker a ceasefire that will enable the start of a peace process, the future for peace in Yemen remains uncertain.

Shoqi Maktary is Search for Common Ground’s (SFCG) Country Director in Yemen. He will provide his analysis of the evolving conflict dynamics and current peacebuilding priorities in the country. He will also give an overview of SFCG’s work in Yemen, and provide a number of policy and programming recommendations to the international community, including the EU.

The presentation will be followed by an informal discussion with participants.

Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch and EPLO will provide tea and coffee.

Please note that seats are limited and registration is mandatory. Please contact Lorenzo Conti if you would like to participate.
