Yemen enters renewed regional confrontation without political settlement
IREMAM researcher Jules Grange Gastinel says relative calm after 2022 failed to resolve Yemen’s competing political, financial and military structures.
Yemen has moved from a prolonged unresolved conflict into renewed regional confrontation, according to Jules Grange Gastinel, a researcher at the Institute for Research and Studies on the Arab and Muslim World.
Gastinel told France 24 International that the relative calm established after 2022 did not produce a durable political settlement. Yemen’s underlying divisions therefore remain unresolved as regional tensions re-emerge.
The country remains divided among rival political, financial and military institutions. That fragmentation continues to shape the limits of any wider effort to address the conflict through a lasting political process.
The available assessment does not specify which events or actors are driving the renewed confrontation. It also provides no details on military activity or casualties.
Gastinel’s characterisation points to a shift in Yemen’s conflict environment, but the supplied material does not independently corroborate the assessment or indicate whether a new political framework is being pursued.
