In his 2023 article, “Negotiating Saudi Arabia’s Defeat and the Houthi Victory in Yemen,” Thomas Juneau of the University of Ottawa assessed that the Saudi-Yemen ceasefire would “not lead to a sustainable peace.” Two years on, as tensions in the Middle East are higher than ever, we asked him to revisit his argument.

US strikes against the Houthis in Yemen on 15 March were the heaviest since joint US/UK air operations began in January 2024. They were also the first under the new administration of President Donald Trump. Sending a clear message to Tehran, the president said afterwards that ‘every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon…as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of Iran’. The attacks, and Trump’s explicit association of the Houthis with Iran, were not surprising.

Avec la consolidation de leur puissance au niveau domestique, il était inévitable que les houthistes cherchent à jouer un rôle plus important au-delà des frontières du Yémen. Ainsi, les dernières années ont été marquées par leur émergence en tant que puissance régionale incontournable. Cela s’est d’abord manifesté dans leurs relations avec l’Arabie saoudite et les Émirats arabes unis.

La guerre entre Israël et le Hamas qui a éclaté en octobre 2023 a permis aux houthistes d’accélérer leur émergence sur la scène régionale. Basés à l’origine dans le nord-ouest du Yémen, ils ont joué de l’instabilité du pays depuis 2011 pour étendre leur territoire, prendre la capitale, Sanaa, en 2014, tout en résistant à l’intervention de l’Arabie saoudite lancée en 2015.

-Lots of public service jobs don't & shouldn't require a university degree -Lots do, as they should (engineers, lawyers, etc) -How many jobs require one but shouldn't? I don't know how many, but possibly some; though probably less than some critics of the public service claim

Apparently Canada’s public service is over-educated so the Conservatives, per their costed platform, promise to : “eliminate university degree requirements for most federal public service roles to hire for skill, not credentials.”
