According to my mind, he will not stay because he has committed lots of crimes. So he cannot live safely .He was granted immunity but it cannot protect him from victims’ families. They will look for him in order to take revenge.

The revolutions of the “Arab Spring” inspire optimism in each individual who suffered the yoke and despotism of the region’s autocratic regimens. These revolutions mark the beginning of a new era for the Arab World.

The first war of its kind the world had ever seen, was started by states based on the creed of capitalism. World War 1 was called the ‘Great Game’. A Game in which a plan was meticulously put forth to achieve what the imperial West had tried in vain for centuries to do, that is, to put an end to the Caliphate.

I am so grateful for having spent the years of my adolescence in a very simple place like Yemen, for I feel it was relatively balanced. I had just enough sheltered family love and satisfaction to bear the exposure to the “real life” I saw there.

The London Somalia Conference held at Lancaster House, UK, on February 23, is another example of the hypocrisy of democracies. It shows how the torchbearers of democracy are eager to impose models based on their own vested interests in foreign lands. Two years ago, the same Lancaster House hosted the London Afghanistan Conference, in which the UK government proposed its plans for stability in Afghanistan, in order to minimize threats to the UK. However, to date Afghanistan is a country suffering due to occupation, where the native population is not only subjected to physical occupation but their beliefs are also ridiculed and insulted.

Candles boast of their ability to mitigate the gloomy hours of the night. The blaze of one candle suffices, allowing us to complete our assignments, compose paragraphs or even an essay. Indeed, we are indebted to all candles. Once the power is on, they are all extinguished. Yet the smart candle retorts “Soon I will be the sole recourse.’’ As a consequence, I had the following conversation with a candle:

Have you ever asked yourself what it was like when cars were first introduced into Yemen – or what our means of transportation were before cars appeared?

We Yemenis have seen a lot of bad days – but we are all Yemenis, and we are awaiting a day of change. This day will fortify our peaceful revolution and show the rest of the world that we are really a dignified and distinctive people when compared with other parts of the Arab world that have been liberated and tasted the joy of freedom.

I am far from my motherland (Yemen) and I am worried: Worried for my loved ones, worried for the children of a failing united society, worried for the lady I met in Change Square weeping over her son's body, and sadly I am worried for the whole Yemeni nation as it discovers the reaction to its freedom from a long and cruel 33 year dictatorship rule under Saleh.

Do you believe in the law of attraction, where you bring into your life whatever you think about? Have you ever thought something will happen and it does? Or remembered someone and then they call?

Every single organ in our body represents a great message: the heart stands for love, eyes for a clear vision, and hands – which have fingers of differing length and size – stand for beauty. Take a moment to mediate on the differences of the fingers of one hand. If we suppose that they are the same, they are useless, ugly. The reason for this difference is that it has wisdom behind it – but we don’t realize it. Viewed nicely, people in this life have different thoughts, ideas, concepts, beliefs and parties, but we still have the beauty of their differences. Unfortunately, these days each person looks at others as enemies, not because they are real enemies, but because they have different thoughts. What is happening these days in Yemen is the best example of this scenario. The picture that is drawn, of hatred, blood, and killing represents a horrible perspective for each Yemeni. Each person starts to hurt the other in one society. They forget that they are different fingers of one hand: if we hurt one of the fingers, the whole hand will feel the pain.

This revolution has shown us the bright side of Yemenis in many ways. It has shown us that we are really peaceful people despite the fact that we ranked second after the US in the world for possessing firearms per citizen.
