    The Spin

    Narrative A

    This is a massive achievement, and an important stepping stone towards lasting peace. Reopening the airport was long overdue and will save thousands of lives. The conflicting sides have demonstrated that they can find common ground to benefit the Yemeni people, offering hope for further truces.

    Narrative B

    While the reopening of the Sanaa airport is a step in the right direction that may address humanitarian issues and could pave the way to a military de-escalation, it doesn't mean the end of the conflict as the warring sides have yet to find a comprehensive political solution.

    The New Arab

    Establishment-critical narrative

    The war in Yemen, now in its eighth year, is every bit as brutal as what's taking place in Ukraine. The West's failure to address this humanitarian disaster or cover it in the media with any sort of urgency says a lot about its inherent bias and who it considers worthy and unworthy victims.
