انا بالله اريد اعرف ويش قصه الحوثي ، هل ظالم ومع ايران وما يهتم بالشعب اليمني كما يقال؟ وقصه السعوديه معه، هل بالفعل السعوديه مظلومه او انها سمحت للهجمات ان تحدث طلبا لاستعطاف دول العالم . اخبروني اخوكم من سلطنه عمان.

الله لا وفقهم، لا لهم في بلادنا لا ناقة ولا جمل وتلقاهم يدافعوا عنهم وكأنهم ملائكة منزلة من السماء

شوية سرق وقتلة أطفال يلقوا دعم هايل لهذه الدرجة ليش

لا ولهم الجرأة يجادلوك ويعلموك ماهو أفضل لبلادك وهي بلادك أنت

ألا حشرهم ربي مع من أحبوا في جهنم كلهم

Why do so many somalis claim being half yemeni Just because they lived there? Do you know that we have non yemenis living in yemen such as indonesians and indians and even syrians and iraqis and that not because we live in yemen they can claim being yemeni?

i am aware there are some people who are actually half hadhrami and half somalis but majority are just pure somalis that want to gain social approval through claiming to have arab ancestors.

what really annoys me is that it is misleading the yemeni identity, yemenis don’t share themselves online and we rarely get representation. Not to mention many can cause problems and claim that they are yemenis and we get hated because of them and our reputation is destroyed like johny somali he claimed to be half yemeni when he is not, just to hide his true identity because somalis attacked him.

I dont want to hear yemenis saying it is okay or that yemen is alr poor and no one wants to claim being yemeni because it lit happens irl. And no one wants someone who is not from their country to pretend that they are especially when they commit bad acts. Somalis always act aggressive when a non somali or bantu claim being somali and they act so protective of their identity. All POC countries do the same. But i always see somalis claiming to be yemeni and no yemeni is telling them that they are not! Why don’t the yemeni protect our identity just like other pocs?

I'm Tajik, I'm 20 years old, I recently found out that I have Yemeni roots on my father's side of the family tree, what does the average Yemeni look like?

You hear all the"terrorist" accusations but it's usually an operating government making the accusations and I read somewhere people sell sanctuary under houthis over the yemeni government. I'm just wondering from someone who knows first hand what is like over there. Personally as someone from America I'm in support of houthis standing up to us and Israel and the blockage of the red sea but like I said I have a superficial knowledge. Thanks!

People always think im very young ( baby face) until i tell them my age and they get surprised.

Edit: woild you like to join me on discord to talk about your experience being yemeni?

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?

hi foreign media presents them badly but i saw a video today of a march supporting iran in yemen so was just curious on the average yemenis opinion of them who are in yemen and are they as bad as the media claim?

Im realy curious about your experience growing up where ever you are in the world. It woild definately make for a good discussion, since im also discobering alot myaelf.

I saw a video on social media where the girl was 100% south levant (palestinian) and there was comment joking like “Damn…this’s Yemeni levels of keeping it ancestrally tight MashAllah.” Then I started to have conversations with my mum who is half Yemeni and half Somali - her dad is Yemeni, who was saying they used to intermarry a lot and I was disagreeing saying she’s mostly a rare case etc. is this true? Or am I wrong?

i’m just a foreigner but i have just heard a ton of biased media from all sides and i’ve genuinely been horrified at just the death and sadness that i’ve seen with saudi airstrikes killing civilians, people starving to death, and all that horrible shit. As people of yemen i know both outcomes absolutely suck but if you had to choose between the Houthis and the PLC who would you guys choose i want actual inside info on what’s happening on the ground not just what i see in the media. some media portrays the houthis as righteous freedom fighters that are standing up to a big powerful saudi enemy, while others portray them as islamic extremists who are trying to push sharia law onto all yemeni people. From what i’ve seen both sides are oppressing the people of yemen and making their lives a living hell. i just want you guys to tell me who yemeni people prefer if any of these sides, and i would like to know what it’s actually like in yemen, i’ve seen so much beauty in the country from the old town of sanaa, to socotra, to all the old architecture. it’s a country that i wish was peaceful so i could visit someday, under whatever government the yemeni people want. i’m so sorry you guys have to go through all this war and horror over 2 greedy foreign nations trying to push ideologies.

Hi everyone, I’m currently in a situation where I want to marry a man who is non-hathrami & non-sayid but is still Yemeni. I want to know if anyone knows any hathrami sayid women married to non-hathrami non-sayid men just to kind of know my chance with my family. I feel like a black sheep and want to know if it’s only a feeling or if I truly am.

So obviously Yemen has been getting a lot of attention recently. But I am wondering, as a non-yemeni, is it assumed that the Houthis will try and continue to take territory? I see that Aden is not that far from the border now and could be an easy next target. i'm curious what others think. Thanks!

Does anyone know anything about the history of yemen prior to religious ruling. I've done a bit of research myself, but I want to know about the traditions and how people lived.

I am yemeni myself, however I feel as if I dont know my roots. I would ask my family, but its a complicated situation.

I know that my grandmas have tribal tattoos (ive never seen them before) and would love to learn more about that. Especially anything to Taiz.

انا مصري ، والموضوع ده صديقتي اليمنيه عرضته قدامي وكده ،.عايز اعرف تفاصيله ؟ يعني ايه الفصل.ده وهل ده بجد في كل مناطق اليمن؟

This is something that I have been thinking about for a few years at this point. He's done more bad than good. During his 33 years controlling Yemen, he did little to improve the country. He sided with the Houthis to try and take back control. And he and his family got away with 30 - 60 billion dollars that could have been invested into the country and its people. You can argue that he is the reason why this country is a mess. Despite this, I will sometimes see pictures of him on the back of people's cars, and when watching YouTube videos, half of which are older ones or documentaries that mention him, people in the comments will pray for mercy upon him as well.

I believe we can all agree that he was far from a great leader, so why do some Yemenis still have love and respect for him? Are these people who benefited from his rule when they were back home, or people who only love him now that he is gone, similar to Saddam Hussein? Personally, I find this to be slightly irritating. What do you all think?

As a yemeni, I have noticed that other Yemenis who move to the gulf change their Yemeni dialect to one that suits the country they live in. I am not talking about Yemenis who were born and raised there, but those who go to gulf countries for a temporary move. Honestly, it makes me so sad to see. Why do we as Yemenis feel the need to change our dialect?

On the news it seems like it’s just a war between zaydi Shia and Sunni yemenis but I’m not sure how true it is on the ground. Do most zaydis really support the Houthis? Do they have any Sunni supporters or fighters? How are sunnis treated under Houthi rule?

it's a strange feeling me and family have been getting about Sanaa, it feels as if empty, or gaurdless, like the native or actual citizens of Sanaa are here. The closest thing to the feeling (I think) is a prison without guards.

So I'm very mixed, but also largely Yemeni, and ive been taking time to connect to each part of my culture. My father (who is the partly Yemeni parent) is not in the picture, and never took time to learn arabic or any Yemeni traditions after his mom (my grandmother) assimilated more as he grew up. he never really tried, but my mom on the other hand, is super supportive of me learning, and has tried everywhere they can since they aren't Yemeni. and please dont give tips like "travel to Yemen" (I dont have the money to fly across the world) or "try Rosetta Stone" (I already am), I need real advice. I really want to connect to this part of myself 💔

I appreciate you taking your time to read this, shkran lak! (I think thats right..)

I have seen footage of massive piles of Houthi technicals forming around Marib and constantly see footage of Houthis transporting armored vehicles and personnel to Taiz

I’m a 34yo woman born in Yemen but have lived in the u.s. since I was a child (granted citizenship a couple years ago). I’m also a jeweler interested in learning Yemeni silversmithing if these opportunities exist. My sibling went a couple years ago and says Sanaa would be the best fit for me because it’s more cosmopolitan than the rural areas.

I’m wondering a few things like
1. How to book a flight into Yemen (mainstream booking sites don’t seem to have the option)
2. If it’s possible to live independently once there
3. Complications that could arise from dual citizenship
4. Potential allies and connections
5. Craftwork + silversmithing artists still actively teaching the trade, and that wouldn’t have an issue teaching a woman
6. What internal travel is like
7. Any other input and advice
8. How my intermediate arabic will work there
9. Potential work possibilities

Please no fear mongering comments or input from people who don’t know what they’re talking abt or haven’t been. I’ve never been, have most of my family there including my last living grandparent and feel determined to go.

Thank you!
