Voice of America

VOA‘s Heather Murdock interviewed Yan St-Pierre for her article “Extremists Harness Yemen Chaos, Coalition Pushes North” following a bomb explosion in Aden, Yemen.

If the coalition doesn’t invade Sana’a or other territories that have been Houthi strongholds for more than a decade, they will try to negotiate a way out of the war, according to Yan St-Pierre, who heads the Berlin-based security firm MOSECON. (…)

If a peace deal isn’t reached soon, St-Pierre added, Yemenis can expect long-term insecurity at the hands of al-Qaida and IS. “They will be the real winners of that conflict,” he said.
