Yemen Monitor / Newsroom:
A research center focused on Yemeni affairs said that 2025 marked a decisive turning point in Yemen, as the country moved from a state of “no war, no peace” into a phase of open, multi-level confrontation — politically, militarily, economically, and humanitarianly.
Mokha Center for Strategic Studies stated that its fifth annual report for 2025 provides a comprehensive analytical reading of political, economic, military, social, and humanitarian developments in Yemen, presenting research material supported by data, charts, documented information, and rigorous scientific analysis.
The report recommended working to restore the authority of the central state and unify security decision-making to ensure the protection of strategic areas. It also stressed the need to neutralize the banking sector and resume oil and gas exports to regularly cover public sector salaries, while shifting from emergency relief aid toward supporting sustainable livelihoods and local productive sectors.
In a press statement, the center noted that the annual report offers an in-depth analysis of these trajectories, monitoring and evaluating key internal and external trends and their potential implications for the country’s future, with special focus — in the first chapter — on the roles of local, regional, and international actors.
The report also reviewed economic and development conditions, analyzing major macroeconomic indicators and forecasting development prospects amid rising public discontent, fragile economic and political conditions, and growing regional tensions.
Additionally, it monitored military and security developments and their future directions, analyzing how international geopolitical shifts influence domestic dynamics. It also addressed the humanitarian situation and human rights in the context of one of the world’s worst ongoing humanitarian crises, presenting indicators across multiple sectors and projecting future trends.
The report concluded that sustainable improvement is intrinsically linked to a political settlement and the restoration of state institutions to their functions. It also emphasized the need to protect digital rights and prevent arbitrary surveillance to ensure long-term stability that avoids renewed humanitarian crises and widespread violations.
