If you plan a shopping trip to Gamal Abdel Nasser Street, one of Sana’a’s busiest and most bustling commercial avenues, to buy clothes or jewelry or anything else during an electricity blackout, you will be met the same way outside of every shop. The district’s customary greeting for visitors: welcome to electrical generator avenue.

Investigative Yemeni Journalist: 'Siege imposed on Yemen is Houthi-made rather than a Saudi-made one'

Investigative Yemeni journalist, Mohammed Al Absi reports that siege imposed on Yemen is Houthi-made rather than a Saudi-made one. Al Absi –who's regarded as one of the top investigative Yemeni journalists and whose critical work has led him to prosecution two years ago after his sharp investigative work– has published on his Facebook/blog a document that proves that the Houthis are manipulating the issue of the siege imposed on Yemen, which is lifted already,

شهد اليمن منذ الانتفاضة الشبابيّة عام 2011م العديد من مبادرات الرسم الجرافيتي في الشوارع وحملاته. بينما تتمدّد الجماعات المسلّحة وتتّسع دائرة القتال ورقعة المناطق الخارجة عن سيطرة الدولة، تتواصل في شوارع صنعاء حملات الرسم الجرافيتي ويزداد جمهورها والمتحمّسون لها كمحاولة نبيلة لمقاومة العنف ومعالجة تشوّهات الصراع السياسيّ عن طريق الرسم والفنّ.
