Unfortunately, neither side seems willing to back down, as recent fighting in Marib suggests. There's no road to peace.

The Biden administration has changed tack on Yemen by delisting the Houthis as a terrorist organization and no longer selling weapons to Riyadh — which UN Coordinator David Gressly sees as a productive step in the conflict.

But that’s not enough.
