- Crisis Group hosted an online event with external experts to examine the Houthi advance toward Bab al-Mandab and the rapid collapse of the front in Yemen.
- Panelists debated whether Saudi Arabia, the Yemeni government, and Yemen's neighbors can keep the current round of fighting from sliding into a wider war.
Why it matters: The Crisis Group discussion puts the burden on Saudi Arabia, the Yemeni government, and Yemen's neighbors to stabilize the Bab al-Mandab front before a localized Houthi push reignites a full-scale Yemen war, with regional spillover as the explicit concern on the table.
