The peaceful protests

Some of you have asked about the current protests in the Arab world. I am delighted to say that the protests in Yemen thus far, have been peaceful, the most peaceful of them all.

I could regurble some of the news you can find online, or from CNN, but instead i will give you a quick look into how this relates to us:

Thursday of last week was the beginning of the protests. We were told by everyone, to stay indoors at least through the afternoon. They all said it would be fine to go out in the evening because the protests would end as everyone would be chewing qat.

Students are giving a lot of input mostly pro-protest; meaning pro- new regime, and even separation between northern and southern Yemen. Some say that employment is a right and there aren't enough jobs in Yemen, others say that this is not a problem that will be easily solved by a change of presidency. From those in our sphere, the complaint is about wanting more money, and wanting more jobs.

I think that peace is one of the most powerful ways to protest.
