- Zimmerman: How the US should re-engage in Yemen
- Devices seized in Yemen raid offer clues to al-Qaeda’s tactics
Katherine Zimmerman writes: American re-engagement in Yemen should recognize that both al Qaeda and Iran seek to hijack local grievances to gain influence. The war is a composite of multiple spinning local conflicts that let both of America’s enemies expand their footprint in Yemen. The war is also what opened the door for ISIS to begin operations in Yemen. The United States should lead the effort to resolve the conflicts that feed the war. Such a policy would starve al Qaeda and Iran of the sustenance they need to retain their influence in Yemen. – American Enterprise Institute
