Why are the warring factions unable to reach a peace agreement? What is the role of the international community?

Through her analysis and writing\, Helen tries to promote commitment to equitable development and peace in Yemen. \nHelen edited the multi-authored book\, Why Yemen Matters (2014)\, which suggests solutions to Yemen’s most pressing problems. Her most recent publications include Yemen’s Peaceful Transition from Autocracy: Could it have Succeeded? (2016) and Understanding the Yemeni Crisis: the Transformation of Tribal Roles in Recent Decades (2016).
