In this blockbuster episode of Guerrilla History (originally released Mar 1, 2024), we bring on two outstanding guests to discuss the modern history of Yemen, as well as their ongoing struggle against Zionist imperialism and opposition to the genocide in Gaza.   Shireen and Rune bring fantastic insight and analysis, making this complicated history accessible and utilizable for individuals in our movement against imperialism in all forms, and Zionist imperialism specifically at this moment.  Be sure to take in all that our guests say, and share this episode with comrades you believe would similarly benefit!
