CEP Senior Advisor Edmund Fitton-Brown interviewed: "Bill is joined by Long War Journal regular and long-time friend of the show, Edmund Fitton-Brown to talk about the Houthis. If you’re here, you’ve heard of them — but how much do you actually know about them? What is their relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran? Why are they in Yemen? Edmund previously served as the United Kingdom’s Ambassador to Yemen, a role which required him to negotiate and spend a significant amount of time in close quarters with Houthi leaders. He details some of his interactions with them and how the experience shapes his understanding of the region today."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed for story: "Yemen's Houthi rebels have told China and Russia that their ships can pass through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea safely. The Houthis have been attacking vessels off the Yemeni coast since November. 
The US and the UK have launched air strikes on Houthi targets in retaliation. Several countries have deployed their naval forces to protect shipping in the trade route. Earlier this month, three crew members were killed when their ship was hit in a Houthi strike."

"In this week’s episode of “The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent JJ Green”, Dr. Hans Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project, explains what the death of the leader of al-Qaida’s Yemen branch means for the terror group and the world."

"“... It's striking there's been no uncontrolled escalation [by Israelis' enemies] in the past five months", said Edmund Fitton-Brown, the UK's former ambassador to Yemen, who is now an adviser to the Counter Extremism Project, a non-profit group based in Germany and the US. "There is some sense in which Hamas foisted this crisis on everyone else and they have to calculate their own interests in response," he said."

"In the latest episode of the “Sanctions Space” podcast, Justine Walker is joined by Edmund Fitton-Brown, senior advisor at the Counter Extremism Project and former U.K. ambassador to Yemen. They discuss the ongoing tensions in the Red Sea, the political situation in Yemen and the origin and aspirations of the Houthi group, as well as sanctions actions taken by the U.S. and others against the Houthis."

CEP Senior Advisor Ambassador Edmund Fitton-Brown: "'This isn't about Gaza. It's about the Houthis trying to disrupt international trade and the world economy just for the sake of it. Solidarity against this is very important,' said Edmund Fitton-Brown, the UK's former ambassador to Yemen...

'What they have morphed into in recent years is a free fighting outfit. They love to fight. They enjoy conflict,' said the ex-diplomat, who is now an adviser to the Counter Extremism Project, a non-profit group based in Germany and the US."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed for story "The US has carried out a second day of military strikes on Houthi rebel targets in Yemen. US officials say the new targets posed a threat to shipping in the Red Sea, which has been disrupted by Houthi attacks in recent weeks. Houthi leaders have vowed to retaliate following the attacks."
