Is Yemen The Graveyard of Empires? Are Houthis A Ragtag Army? | S4E7
Manage episode 400928211 series 2970749
Out of the 3 major trade routes in the Middle East before the Suez Canal, 2 traversed through Yemen. No wonder the Sasanian Persians, the Ottomans, the Portuguese and the British all occupied and attempted to colonize Yemen.
In this episode our guest scholar, Dr. Charles Schmitz, will explain the rise of Houthis in the context of Yemen's religion and history, going back to the 9th century. Dr. Schmitz is a professor at Towson University and a non-resident scholar at the Middle East Institute.
This episode will be published in two parts on Feb. 15 and 16 at our sister podcast - Unravelling the Middle East, which you can follow via these links:
You can also see me and our guest scholars engaged in conversation about the Middle East on our YouTube channel:

And on Wed., Feb. 21, a guest scholar of America's conspiracy theories will speak about the Taylor Swift/Kelce MAGA political conspiracy theories in the context of our history.
I hope you enjoy these episodes. Adel Aali
