Talking about Yemen
With so much USA media and political attention now being given to Yemen, I’ve been trying to learn more about the country itself. A good place to start for anyone else interested in doing the same is a short Harper’s Magazine online Q&A with Yemen expert Gregory Johnsen (“Six Questions for Gregory Johnsen on Yemen” Jan 7, 2010). Johnsen is a former Fulbright Fellow in Yemen.
And while checking out Johnsen’s blog on Yemen, I came across a link to this striking ForeignPolicy.com photo series of the country (“Daily Life in Yemen” Feb 2009, photographer Sandy Choi).
