With the new escalation in violence witnessed in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, new districts of the city have fallen victims to the specter of war, living in constant fear of shelling or gun-fighting. Despite being classified by the UNESO as World Heritage in 1986, Bab al Yemen, Sana'a most ancient and well-known district has been living in fear.
A young Yemeni man: ambitious, dedicated, enthusiastic and hard working. I believe in our abilities to create a better future for ourselves and our children through changing ourselves and the current repressive regime. This blog means the start for me. I believe in living for others to live a better life. If you can give a hand to somebody to find themselves in their community, please do not wait- just do it. I am looking for your comments on how we can be better citizens in this world.
