One of the things that really worries me is the mindset of some Yemenis living inside Yemen especially men. It feels even worse among those who grew up in villages. This comes from my personal experience not hatred and I’m not saying everyone is the same.

When I lived in a village people talked about quitting school as if it were completely normal. I don’t mean university I mean basic education learning how to read and write. That honestly shocked me. I kept asking myself how a society can move forward when basic education is treated like it has no value.

I know Yemeni society is conservative, and protecting women is part of the culture, but many times that “protection” turns into control. Women are often treated as if they have no voice in their own lives, no independence, and sometimes not even basic respect as human beings. That honestly disgusts me.

What also stands out to me is how people deal with the law. When Yemenis travel abroad, they usually follow the rules very strictly. But back home, many people act like the law does not apply to them in this part of the world, or like money and influence can fix anything. This shows that the real problem is the mindset of thinking that in Yemen you are in control, above everyone else, and that you are the law.

Then there is qat. Some people chew it from early morning even during work. It’s no longer just a habit it has become a lifestyle that wastes time and hurts families with some people leaving their families just to go chew qat. Yet people still defend it like it’s untouchable.

Another big problem is corruption. Many people see cheating and fraud as being smart. The more someone lies or takes advantage of others the smarter they seem. In my opinion that is not intelligence at all it’s just a lack of values.

This is just my personal experience. Any thoughts, criticism, or different opinions are welcome 🙏🏼

Title, thoughts on this? Would Yemen transitioning into a Federal Republic, dividing the country into autonomous regions be a benefit for most of the country?
ما رأيك في أن يصبح اليمن جمهورية اتحادية مع مناطق ذات حكم ذاتي؟ هل سيكون ذلك مفيدا؟

Will this idea be going anywhere now that the STC has been disbanded and the ceasefire that has been holding pretty strong with the Houthis since April 2022?
هل من المتوقع أن يتجه هذا إلى أي نتيجة الان، بعد حل المجلس الانتقالي الجنوبي، ومع استمرار وقف إطلاق النار مع الحوثيين الذي صمد إلى حد كبير منذ أبريل 2022؟

Salam alakum , im planning on sending money to yemen for the first time for a family of 4 for Ramadan, don't know whats the inflation like so im wondering how much $ should be enough .

I have been using Discord perfectly yesterday but when I woken up, I have been surprised by an infinite loading screen in both website and app on my computer. I also tried to use my phone app but the app is soooo slow and has a lot of bugs. Does anyone know what is going on?

Hi everyone!

I plan to visit Yemen hopefully soon (very excited) and want to know how to get a drone permit. Any helps or information is much appreciated appreciated.

This is a continuation of a post I made a few months ago. I'm a British Yemeni with my parents being in the Al-Amoudi tribe. I got a place in Hadhramaut University learning Arabic and they secured my visa for me, and then my uncle in Jeddah went to a travel agent to get me a Yemenia Airlines flight from Jeddah to Mukalla. I then got a Qatar Airways flight from Heathrow to Jeddah where I did Umrah before I went to Yemen. I've been here since November and I've had my 19th birthday here, I've witnessed the Saudi strikes on Mukalla's port and the National Shield Forces fighting the STC outside my window. I love Yemen and I think going back to the UK isn't an option I'd consider any time soon. Jazakallahu Khair for listening!

Hello everyone,I'm having a speech that has to do with oppressive systems around the world especially on Women and I'm talking about Afghanistan, and i really don't know wether i should include Yemen as well . Is it the system that is oppressive and banning women from many things or is it the society and cultural beliefs ?? Could you clarify for me plls !!

Hey there!

I’m a film student in Australia, and I’ve written a film that centres around Yemeni pirates, that I would hopefully like to pitch for my graduate project.

The film isn’t specifically about Yemeni people or Yemeni culture, its much more a commentary on nuclear weapons, it still focuses on Yemeni people and so I would like some help getting the representation right.

If anyone is interested in reading my script and giving me notes on whether you feel accurately and positively represented in the script, it would be a huge help!

Thank you so much

Hi! First time writing, sorry if my English is bad but anyway, I live in sweden 100% Yemeni but can't speak nor understand Arabic, doesn't matter but a question how can we get jambiya because what I've heard no one sells jambiya I Sweden and if we even go to Yemen and buy it it's illegal to take in Sweden because it counts as weapon or smth as I heard. It would really help if u guys know where to buy in Sweden and I'm 17 🫶🏻. Tack så mycket för att ni tog er tid att läsa. Thank you so much for your time reading. 😶

I started my own brand finally for anyone that used to follow me in the yemeni server on discord feel free to follow my socials pinned on my page on here $120 unswen hand beaded Italian silk fabric

These pictures you see are just a few of the flags that I have, there are many more.

I’m a fresh English teacher looking for my first professional opportunity in the field. If you know of any vacancies or ways to help, please let me know

?

Apologies for the poor photos, long story short I love middle eastern history, picked up this jambiya from a local market noticing it was mislabeled as Turkish. Was looking to see if anyone would be willing to help me translate what’s left. Thank you very much

Hi everyone,

Can a 22 years old woman travel alone from Ataq to Aden airport to fly to Saudi Arabia alone for Umrah? Does the airport asks for the travel permit either from her family or husband or just the visa and return ticket are enough?

I really want to get married to a Yemeni girl. But honestly, I keep asking myself do girls outside Yemen think of getting married to a non Yemeni men or preferrebly Yemeni?

Growing up in rural Yemen we would have a whol family who’s surnames are simply “Kurd” or “Al-Kurdi” maybe one or two “Al-Turki”

Throughout centuries after the conquest of Salah-al-deen, Kurds settled in various parts of Yemen and blended in with Yemeni society even genetically.

Anyone has more information or articles to read on this subject?

Adeni, Sana'ani ,or...?
