There is no KIS study on this community. No SCP report. No Pharos dossier. We are building the missing baseline in the open — sourced, dated, free to read, and free to argue with.
Not thought leadership. Reference material — the kind you can cite in a memo without having to defend where it came from, and the community's own account alongside it.
The first sourced factual baseline on the Yemeni community in the Netherlands: who has arrived, when, through which routes, with what profiles — and, just as importantly, what the data cannot tell you. Every figure carries its source and its date, and the whole has been independently verified against the original data. Readable in full now, with the English PDF free to download; the Dutch edition follows.
Read the reportThe companion to the Feitenkaart's single-country depth: a comparative statistical baseline across the whole European reporting field. Asylum applications, decisions, appeals, permits, population and recognition rates for every reporting country, 2010–2026, drawn cell by cell from Eurostat. Build your own comparison; every figure carries its source, and the gaps are marked as gaps.

The companion to the Feitenkaart. Where the Feitenkaart describes a population in the Netherlands through official statistics, this carries that community's own account: Arabic-facing stories and lived experience, drawn as anonymised themes from our listening phase. It reports what we heard across fifteen structured listening conversations — the themes that recurred, and the assumptions we walked in with and had to put down. The figures describe a population; they do not describe a life. The name is deliberately bounded to the Netherlands — a European companion would be a separate piece of work, not an extension of this one.
In preparation — coming after our listening phaseCommunity members who want a say in what this records — and in what we get wrong — can share what they are seeing. Nothing anyone tells us is published without their separate written consent.
An annual state-of-the-community report, first edition next year. Where the Feitenkaart is a baseline, this is the change over time: what moved, what did not, and what the year taught us — including where our own earlier work turned out to be wrong.
First edition planned for next yearShort, practical pieces from the work itself. The first is published and readable now; the two below it are in preparation and will appear here as they are finished, and not before.
A gap in official statistics is not only an absence. It is a record of a decision — of how a state has chosen to see, or not see, a community living within it. Read Europe's data on Yemeni residents and the holes turn out to be as informative as the numbers.
Read the articleFive figures from the Feitenkaart work that changed how we read this community — with their sources, so you can check whether they should change how you read it too.
In preparationEngineers, medics, teachers and traders whose careers were interrupted by war rather than by ability — and what it takes to restart one here.
In preparationSix categories, so you can find the thing you actually came for.
No political commentary. Not on Yemen, not on Dutch politics, not on anything else — including in analysis pieces. Our writing is community- and participation-focused only. If you want positions on the war, we are the wrong publication, and we will happily point you to serious analysts who do that work properly.
No claim without a source. Every figure carries its origin and its date. Anything resting on lived expertise or interviews rather than published data says so plainly, in the text, where you cannot miss it.
No borrowed credibility. No partner or institution appears here as an endorsement without their written permission. No logos we have not earned the right to show.
We would rather publish four things a year that hold up than forty that fill a feed. The Feitenkaart and Yemeni Nationals in Europe are published and readable now; the articles above are in preparation — we publish only when a piece is ready, never to fill a page.
The Feitenkaart is published and the PDF is free to download. Tell us where to send word when the Dutch edition and the products still in preparation are published. No newsletter machine, no drip campaign — one email when something is actually finished.
