Join Raheel Ahmad for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Yemen' and 'Juneteenth / Slavery'.


Yemen 

Yemen’s conflict driven by politics and internal divisions has left the country in chaos with the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and people struggling to survive.

 





Juneteenth / Slavery

Juneteenth marks the end of slavery—or does it? Born from delayed freedom in 1865, it’s a powerful but often misunderstood symbol of liberation. Join us as we explore whether Juneteenth delivered on its promise, why the fight for equality continues, and how Islam champions true justice and dignity.

Dr Ali Saif – Chair of Yemen Gulf Strategic Studies and Managing Director of Yemen Relief UK Ltd

Ahmed Baider – Yemeni Journalist (TBC)
