al-Qadhi on the Fightin in Sa’dah

Gregory Johnsen

One of Waq al-waq’s favorite Yemeni reporters, Mohammed al-Qadhi, has a new article out for the National on the Huthi conflict. My comments in the report shouldn’t be much of a surprise to anyone who has followed what I have to say on the subject. The piece also quote ‘Abd al-Ghani al-Iryani and Muhammad al-Sabri.
