BBC World Service - The Inquiry, What will end the war in Yemen?

Eight years of civil war has ravaged Yemen, can the country find a peaceful solution?

Following eight years of civil conflict fought between three separate factions and one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises, can a peaceful resolution be found in Yemen?

One of the world's largest humanitarian crises plagues the people of Yemen who have endured nearly eight years of civil conflict in the country. Over half the population struggles to access food, poverty is rife, and cholera is spreading. Meanwhile, three separate forces compete for control of Yemen. Backed by powerful foreign players, is there anything that can bring these warring factions to the table to find a peaceful resolution?

Tanya Beckett takes a closer look at what stands in the way of peace in Yemen.

Producer: Christopher Blake
