Welcome
I am an independent researcher and analyst specializing in conflict within Yemen and the Middle East.
If you're a policymaker, a think tank professional, or part of a development organization, I'm here to simplify the complexities and guide you in making well-informed decisions.
This website highlights my published work and the stories I've encounter along the way.
