U.S. Terror Warning Is About Yemen Bombmaker
BY ROBERT WINDREM Senior U.S. officials say that Wednesday’s terror warning about international air travel, first reported by NBC News, is the result of recent chatter about Ibrahim al-Asiri, the al Qaeda bombmaker from Yemen responsible for several high-profile bombing attempts against U.S. targets. On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security warned airlines of new information r...
Geneva II Just A Eyewash
By Manish Rai It is hard to imagine that representatives of the 30 countries that assembled in Geneva actually believed that they could find a political solution to the ongoing three year old Syrian civil war. Given the differing strategic interests in Syria of the powers within and outside the region, reaching a consensus to end the crisis at this juncture is beyond the realm of possibility. A...
Tradition May Kills
By Tamjid Alkohali A man waiting for a bus at the public bus station near by bab al-Yemen Sana’a. Walking proudly to the bus with his son who is about seven years old, the man was carrying a Kalashnikov on his right shoulder. He got on to the bus, sat next to a girl with his son in between his father and the girl. “The gun is his parent” said the boy. On the bus, the man took down the K...

By/ Mohammed Al-AdlaniAn Access Student at
[email protected]
It is known that, at AMIDEAST, the students have different activities. On Tuesday 2014/1/19, some students and I attended a workshop on How to Plan Your Own Community Service Activity with the volunteer trainer Mohammed Al-Waber. It was very interesting and inspirational. We learned six steps that helped us serve our commun...
The International Community Continues its Support for Yemenis
Asma al-Mohattwari At the closing ceremony of the National Dialogue Conference (NDC) international community praised the historic victory achieved by Yemenis in the success of the NDC and walk forward until the country's access to the modern States and their presence in the occasion is a proof that they will continue to support Yemen. Karen Sasahara, U.S deputy chief of mission said that it is...
“Behind the Darkness of Her Eyes” New Poetry Collection
Asma al-Mohattwari Far away from the news of assassinations, killing and explosions, also in spite of the difficult situation Yemen has been enduring, a bright future can be seen on one side. On January 29th, Eman Abu-Bakr, a young poet, announced her first poems collections titled Behind the Darkness of Her Eyes to separate again the language of love. At the ceremony that was held at th...
Yemen: Looking beyond the National Dialogue
BY WAEL ZAKOUT With the successful conclusion of the National Dialogue Conference (NDC), Yemen has demonstrated both to the region and the world that there is another way of dealing with conflict and grievances. One clear outcome of the NDC is a political transition based on dialogue rather than confrontation. The challenge now will be to convert this outcome into meaningful results ...
Let Democracy Resolve Disputes and Leave Guns Solution
Majed AL-Dhelee Historically, Yemenis are known as people of wisdom, and this fact has been mentioned and approved by our prophet Mohammed (PBUH). Here I am not going to mention our antecedent’s achievements because all Yemenis know that, and most people who have historical background also know that. Now, many questions come to mind; what happened to the people of wisdom, why are they killing ...
Yemeni NDC and the Case of Education
Asma al-Mohattwari Although the Yemeni government has made the development of education system its top priority where the share of the budget dedicated to education has remained high during the past decade, averaging between 14% - 20% of the total government expenditure, but still it was not enough to improve the quality of education in a good way. Educational systems originated in Yemen in th...
Al Qaida Still A Potent Threat
By Manish Rai As we begin 2014, it's worth reflecting on where we stand in our fight against al-Qaida and global terrorism. Throughout 2012 and much of 2013, the Obama administration has toed the line that al-Qaida is on the path to defeat and with it, the terrorism is no longer the threat it once was. Nothing could be further from the truth. During his landmark counterterrorism speech in May 2...
Yemeni silver continues to have value
By Tamjid al-kohali Yemeni craftsmen have been active since the dawn of civilization, in cities likeMinaen,Sheba, and Himyarite, and today, it is still famous for its beauty, subtlety, and intelligent designs. Silver reflects Yemeni culture, and emphasizes individual humanity, while anchoring the country in its ancient roots, despite recent blows to its popularity. There are many silver shops ...
I Have a Big Dream
By/ Mohammed Al-Adlani An Access Student at AMIDEAST –Sana'a

It is very important that every person has a dream or a future goal, otherwise life is meaningless. A goal is defined as "a desired result a person plans and commits to achieve a personal desired end-point". Some people ...
A Look at the Yemeni Weekend
By Tamjid al-Kohali The philosopher Aristotle once said "we work so we can enjoy rest." He was right, because hard work makes the relaxation of the weekend more pleasurable and enjoyable. This is the importance of the weekend. People differ in how they spend their weekends. Ibrahim al-Saadi is 50 years old and an employee at the presidential palace. He works there six hours each day. For...
One last chance for the southern issue
By National Yemen Staff The sixth months of protests by southerners calling for secession are going to end without the achievement of their desires, shouted since 2007. Actually, the southern issue is still caught in an ebb and flow on the ground. It has also become a stumbling block obstructing the conclusion of the national dialogue, now nearing its final ending. One reason that the...
Yemeni Woman Fights Wrongful Sentence
Asma al-Mohattwari In a moment of confusion, fear and panic, Raja al-Hakmi found herself caught between two choices: either to commit a murder and preserve the reputation of her and her family, or to let a man enter her room and violate her. Because she was sure that all laws and customs would stand beside her, she chose to defend herself and kill the would-be intruder. Raja was marr...
State Department Seizing U.S. Passports in Yemen
The rights of citizenship are among the most crucial to a democracy– from citizenship flows the full range of legal protections against unwarranted government interference, and the ability to travel freely. Citizenship for an American is made plain by the issuance of a U.S. passport by the U.S. Department of State. That passport once could only be seized and revoked by State under clear rul...
Contemporary Yemeni Theater: More Melodrama than Tragedy
By Katherine Hennessey I read with great interest Tamjid al-Kohali’s recent Op-Ed on the state of Yemeni theater (“The Tragic Scene of Yemeni Theater,” 17 Nov 2013). First of all, I would like to extend my compliments to Tamjid for writing on the subject. Yemeni theater is a genre which merits much more attention than it currently receives, from journalists and scholars alike, and it is a...
British Ambassador:November 30 – a day to reflect
By Jane Marriott Today, November 30, marks the 46th anniversary of the independence of the southern part of Yemen from Britain. Following my recent visit to Aden, I was touched by a story in the media reporting that I would be attending the unveiling of the cleaned and refurbished statue of Queen Victoria which sits in the Victoria Gardens in Aden. Sadly, the story is not true, but it w...
Arwa Othman sells Yemen to Hamid al-Ahmar
By Arwa Othman In a sarcastic tone and on behalf of Yemenis, Arwa Othman, activist and NDC rights and freedoms group leader, wrote a message to Hamid al-Ahmar titled Yemen to its Owner Hamid al-Ahmar. She started her message with that "We all, 25 million Yemeni, all classes, elites, officials, ministers including the current, pre-and post Yemeni presidents, government, parliamen...
Family and Society Pose Obstacles for the Yemeni Actress
Asma al-Mohattwari “When I walk in the street, I am supposed to wear the veil. Not because of the admiring looks of people, but because of the disrespectful glances I receive from the public.” In her childhood, young Yemeni actress Amani al-Thamari’s only dream was to become an actress. She loved acting and singing, and she used to stand in front of the mirror to imitate actresses and recreate...
