Yemen Online is an independent English-language media platform published by the National Center for Human Rights and Democracy Development (NCHRDD/NOD), founded in 1999 by Yemeni journalist Jamal Al-Awadhi.

The platform was launched in 2006 as part of the Center’s mission to promote freedom of opinion and expression, and to provide the international community with reliable information and insights on the situation in Yemen — away from disinformation and polarization.

Since 2009, the platform has also expanded its coverage to include news from the Gulf region alongside Yemen, strengthening its role as a news and analysis outlet that connects Yemen with its regional and international context.

Yemen Online aims to serve as a credible source of news and analysis on Yemeni and Gulf affairs, primarily targeting international readers, researchers, and policymakers, with the purpose of enhancing transparency and supporting peace and national reconciliation efforts.
