Amman - On Wednesday, 7 March 2018, the Jordan Media Institute (JMI) will organize a symposium titled "Understanding Yemen: Geography, Conflict and Transformations" with the aim of providing greater understanding to media persons, researchers, and opinion leaders in Jordan of developments in Yemen scientifically and independently.<br />
<br />
A number of Yemeni writers, politicians, and thinkers from various trends will speak at the symposium about a number of themes, including geography, history of conflict, main actors, and how the media shaped the image of Yemen. They will also tackle media coverage of the conflict in Yemen and the role of media in this conflict, as well as the questions raised about the Ansar Allah movement, the events in South Yemen, secession and unity, and development and humanitarian conditions.<br />
