–
The American Center for South Yemen Studies (ACSYS) is honored to announce a landmark conference set to take place on July 20, 2023, in Washington, D.C. This significant event commemorates the eighth anniversary of the liberation of Aden, South Yemen, a pivotal moment in the history of the region.
This year’s conference aims to illuminate the progress made since the liberation, offer an in-depth discussion about the current conflict in Yemen, and critically examine the role and impact of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
For the past eight years, the city of Aden has been a symbol of resilience for the people of Yemen. The conference aims to honor this milestone while also examining the road ahead. Distinguished scholars and policy experts from around the world will participate in panel discussions and keynote speeches designed to foster constructive dialogue about the complex issues at hand.
“The liberation of Aden was a turning point for South Yemen. However, we are still facing numerous challenges that need to be discussed on a global scale,” said Mohamed Saleh, Director of ACSYS. “We believe that through open discourse and knowledge sharing, we can contribute to shaping a peaceful and prosperous future for South Yemen.”
Key topics to be addressed during the conference include progress and setbacks in the political, economic, and social rebuilding of South Yemen; the ongoing conflict and its regional implications; the role of AQAP and strategies to counter extremism in the region.
The conference is open to the public. Registration is necessary and can be completed on the ACSYS website. Journalists are invited to cover the event and should contact the ACSYS press office for credentials.
