Yemeni tribal traditions of ‘aqd’ (covenant) and customary mediation have historically resolved local disputes without recourse to external arms. These practices emphasize consensus, compensation, and the protection of non‑combatants, offering a counter‑narrative to the militarized framing of the siege. Ignoring such indigenous knowledge deprives peace efforts of culturally resonant tools that could reduce reliance on airstrikes.
