Hi i recently just landed in Aden and i can’t find anything to do ive climbed up the mountain I’ve been to the beach the only thing i can do is chew but i dont like it if you have any spots or anything please let me know

I’ve always wanted to purchase this football jersey here. Where could I possibly find the Yemeni Adidas sponsored jersey that was worn by the Yemeni National Team back in 2003-2010?

I am asking on behalf of my Yemeni friend.

He is an Adult and has not completed High School we are looking for an accelerated GED program.

Sorry for not writing in Arabic.

Shukran

I went to Yemen after many, many years, and I have to say, it broke my heart.

The healthcare system is struggling, the economy is in terrible shape, and everyone is just trying to survive. Honestly, I was never upset when people charged me more because they knew I was coming from the West. I understood. When you see people living with no electricity, no running water, and barely getting by, you stop worrying about a few extra dollars. Meanwhile, those of us in the West are sitting under air conditioning, living comfortable lives.

I honestly don't care about making more money anymore. My wife and I are both senior-level professionals in tech, and we've been talking about saving as much as we can so we can go back and open a public school that teaches coding to young Yemenis. We also have great relationships with people in the tech industry who could help us build something meaningful.

The problem is that every one of my cousins thinks I'm crazy. They keep telling me it'll never work, that the government or local authorities will shut it down, or that the people don't even want it.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I truly believe that if you give a Yemeni an opportunity, they'll succeed. There is so much talent there most people have just never been given the chance.

Am I being naive?

Does anyone here have anything from socialist Yemen period. Would like to see if anyone does

I’ve been seeing a lot of tourists and travel vloggers exploring Yemen recently, saying it’s safe, beautiful, and the people are welcoming. What changed? Is tourism really increasing, or is social media just making it seem that way?

الوعي في أي مجتمع هو الأساس الذي يُبنى عليه التقدم والاستقرار، والمجتمع اليمني كغيره من المجتمعات يملك مستويات مختلفة من الوعي تتأثر بالظروف الاقتصادية والتعليمية والاجتماعية. والوعي هنا لا يعني فقط المعرفة، بل يشمل إدراك الإنسان لحقوقه وواجباته، وقدرته على اتخاذ قرارات صحيحة تخدم نفسه ومجتمعه.

في المجتمع اليمني، يمكن ملاحظة تفاوت في مستوى الوعي بين المناطق والفئات، ويعود ذلك إلى مجموعة من الأسباب. من أهمها ضعف التعليم أو عدم استمراريته في بعض المناطق، مما يحدّ من انتشار الثقافة العامة والفكر النقدي. كذلك تلعب الظروف الاقتصادية الصعبة دورًا كبيرًا، حيث ينشغل الكثير من الناس بتأمين احتياجاتهم الأساسية على حساب تطوير وعيهم ومعرفتهم. إضافة إلى ذلك، انتشار المعلومات غير الدقيقة عبر وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي قد يساهم في تكوين أفكار خاطئة لدى بعض الأفراد.

ومن الأسباب أيضًا ضعف بعض البرامج التوعوية في الإعلام والمجتمع، مما يقلل من فرص نشر الوعي الصحي والاجتماعي والثقافي بشكل كافٍ. كما أن بعض العادات والتقاليد قد تؤثر أحيانًا على تقبل الأفكار الجديدة أو التغيير.

أما علاج ضعف الوعي فيبدأ من التعليم، فهو الأساس في بناء جيل واعٍ قادر على التفكير والتحليل. كما أن تعزيز دور الإعلام الهادف في نشر المعلومات الصحيحة يعتبر خطوة مهمة. كذلك يجب دعم المبادرات المجتمعية التي تهدف إلى التوعية في مجالات الصحة، والتعليم، والمواطنة.

ومن المهم أيضًا تشجيع الحوار داخل المجتمع، وإتاحة مساحة للأفكار المختلفة، لأن ذلك يساعد على تنمية التفكير النقدي. إضافة إلى ذلك، فإن تحسين الظروف المعيشية بشكل عام يساهم بشكل غير مباشر في رفع مستوى الوعي، لأن الإنسان عندما يشعر بالاستقرار يصبح أكثر قدرة على التعلم والتطور.

في النهاية، فإن رفع مستوى الوعي في المجتمع اليمني ليس مسؤولية جهة واحدة فقط، بل هو مسؤولية مشتركة بين الفرد والأسرة والمدرسة والإعلام. وكلما زاد الوعي، زادت قدرة المجتمع على مواجهة التحديات وبناء مستقبل أفضل.

I'm a 33 yr old single mom, and alhamdulilah I'm proud of who I am today. I'm able to support myself and my kids, travel and enjoy my hobbies. But the shit I've endured as a wife and a sister has made me really dislike men. Now don't get me wrong, I believe there are good men in this world; but I really and truly believe that most Yemeni men are terrible. But I don't blame *them* per se: I blame their parents and how they were raised.

The fact that I can't even see myself remarrying should speak volumes. I subconsciously would see a Yemeni man walk by and automatically assume he's either a pervert with a holier-than-thou attitude or a cheater that believes women should never be seen or heard unless he allows her to speak. It's to the point where I dont trust any man and when my parents mention marriage, I automatically feel dread...like someone's talking about an impending doom.

I'm so content with my life today, but when I see the compassion and love between my parents, I also worry I will regret that I never gave the suitors a chance. But what kind of chance do I give desperate suitors who either was a u.s. visa, want me as a 2nd wife, or I simply don't care to know about?

Hey my people. I came on here because I am honestly tired of our culture. I know not everyone is like this but too many people in our community put culture above religion. My family was born and raised in America and we have lived here almost our whole lives. Even then I have lost so much because of these cultural expectations. My dad refuses to let me get an education or learn how to drive even though I even offered to do online school.

Our community looks down on divorced women. It makes a woman's life so much harder when she does not even have the support of her own family. they say that they are trying to protect us but if you truly love your children and want what is best for them then teach your daughters how to live in this world just like you teach your sons.

When will our country start seeing women as human beings too. Why do women always have to rely on men. Why can we not teach our daughters how to take care of themselves and stand on their own. We cannot expect progress if half of our population is held back.

Even when it comes to marriage why is it so hard to marry outside our ethnicity. Why is it considered shameful if a Yemeni woman marries someone who is not Yemeni. These are questions I have struggled with for a long time. Maybe this mindset is one of the reasons why Yemen is not progressing.

in the usa there are Yemenis living in tiny apartments with their wife and 4+ kids but building houses in Yemen. this is very common here. it is hard for me to understand why they don’t improve their own living conditions instead.

Hello,

My Yemeni passport expired a few months ago, but I still have a passport (since I’m a dual citizen of another country).

I’m planning a trip to Yemen and was wondering if it would be acceptable to use my expired Yemeni passport along with my other passport to enter the country through Saudi Arabia (land).

I would greatly appreciate any advice or personal experiences you may have in this regard. Thank you.

I've been researching Socotra Island and noticed that many tour operators offer trips via Abu Dhabi. Since Socotra is part of Yemen, I'm curious about the practical experience of people who have actually been there.

Did you need any special permission from your home country?

Were there any issues when returning home?

Was your passport stamped, or was a separate paper used?

Did immigration ask any questions?

Would you recommend waiting until the situation changes, or is it fairly straightforward at the moment?

I'm not looking for ways around any laws, just interested in hearing real experiences from people who have visited recently.

I’m planning on buying a few and wanted suggestions as to which are your favourites and most well liked ones

salam alaikum!

I will call this new aesthetic Yemendalia or Yemen Metro 😂

قبل فترة شفت دكتورة عندها مستشفى وطلعت في مقطع تشتكي عن احتياج الناس للادوية واساسيات اي مستشفى الدولة مش قادرة توفرها،
والشعب ما ركز على المطالب اللي طلبتها الدكتورة،
ركزوا على حجابها وان في شعر طالع منه وبدأوا فيها من سب ومن قذف ومن سخرية،
وماركزوا على هدف النشر وان دولتك متهالكة ومش قادرة توفر لك ابسط مقومات الحياة،

واليوم شفت هذا المنشور الغبي، حتى وهي منتقبة لازم ينتقد،
لكن اشكاله عبيد للغرب ويشوف نظرة الغربي له اهم من دينه وحريته،

غارق في الجهل والفساد والفقر والمخدرات والقمامة وفي النهاية يجي يستشرف على بنات بلده
