Tweet this!

In 2013, Yemen found itself at an historic juncture. Following the popular uprising that began in 2011 and culminated in the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh after more than 43 years in power, the country is attempting a difficult political transition. 

A key part of this is the National Dialogue process which is formally due to start on 18 March. The links below provide background information on this process.
