An editorial in *Dawn* cautions against external actors, specifically Pakistan and Turkiye, becoming involved in Yemen’s ongoing conflict. The author argues that Yemen’s complicated internal dynamics and history of foreign intervention make it a dangerous quagmire, offering no easy solutions. Further intervention risks exacerbating existing issues and potentially fueling a wider regional conflict. The piece highlights the failures of past interventions, pointing to the Saudi-led coalition’s limited success despite years of engagement. Yemen’s political landscape is fractured with numerous stakeholders, making a unified approach extremely difficult to achieve. The editorial suggests that a focus on de-escalation, humanitarian aid, and a domestically-led political solution remains the most viable path forward for Yemen, rather than external military or political entanglement, even by well-intentioned actors such as Pakistan and Turkiye.
