Will South Yemen secessionists succeed in Yemen?
Forces loyal to rival politicians have been fighting since the Arab Spring. Meanwhile, Iran-backed rebels have taken over the capital, Al Qaeda and Daesh are constantly attacking, and Saudi Arabia is raining down air strikes. Now a new group is demanding secession in the South. To discuss this, we’re joined from Washington DC by the former US Ambassador to Yemen, Gerry Feierstein. In Sanaa, pro-Houthi journalist Hussain Albukhaiti. In Cairo we are joined by, Afrah Nasser, the editor in Chief of the Saana Review newspaper. And in our studios in Istanbul, we are joined by Yemen's former health minister Najeeb Saeed Ghanem, now a member of Al Islah, a Yemeni opposition party that supports the Saudi-led coalition.
