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:

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.
