Holla 👋

I worked in Hajjah, Yemen as a nurse in the late 90’s. I have visited Saadah, Sanaa, Hodeidah and Aden during my stay there. Yemen is beautiful and the people are very friendly and welcoming. They open their houses to guests and are very hospitable. I have many fond memories of Yemen. Sadly it is no longer as it was when i used to live there. I sincerely hope Yemen will attain peace once again and recover its beauty.

Love from London

In 2016, I was living in Canada in a very large house. The house owner Yemeni soninlaw and her daughter evacuated Yemen and came to Canada. They lived up stairs and us roommates lived down stairs. It was interesting for me to get to know the husband.

the 300 year old substance hostage situation in the united states has us rapidly running out of topsoil and fossil water resources. there has got to be some other socially acceptable way to over through the government; besides african heroin injection prior to, or shortly following, inauguration.

The people are really really special yeah? It’s so obvious

@@Thehermitist ?

Ron I know what you did

I do look forward to the upcoming thousand year reign with Jesus Christ.

Thanks for teaching I was born there in 1995

Hi, I'm also retired. All my life I have wanted to visit Yemen, and other similar countries. Now, I'm not sure how easy, or safe it is to do so. IM sure I would never go alone, would really like to travel there with someone knowledgeable of the laws, and customs. Maybe Someday.

What if you were female instead, would you still say that? Where were all the women and girls in the video and what does that say about the country as a whole?

@@ChatGPT1111 Well in most Muslim countries, you're discouraged from filming women. In social settings, men don't speak about women and when a women boards a bus in Yemen, men clear a whole bench for a lady just few examples. If you're really curious, you can search for women vloggers who've traveled Yemen just fine. Yemen was one of the first Arab countries to issue a drivers license to a woman back in the 1950s. Yemen itself was ruled by women which is why its called the land of Sheba and Yemeni people are very proud of their history.

@@CACressida are you a woman? Is it men or women who will speak up if a woman is in the path of a lens? I bet it's only ever a 'jealous' man. Why is a woman not answering this instead of you, can't they speak for themselves?

Did you see any women?

Oh wow, thanks for sharing this Letícia. Hope you are well and what an incredible country you're from! 🇧🇷

@sheepsfoot2 But are these kids from Yemen's official government control territory part? Or the Houthis control part. As far as I am concerned, the Yemen government aren't currently siding with the Houthi which is one of the stupidest name I ever seen in my whole lifetime by the way. How can you win any wars with group name Houthis?

@@sheepsfoot2that was just brilliant. Propaganda can be very effective. It’s worked on you.

The people of Yemen need to be free of the houthis and iran

Sounds like the perfect propagandist. He is just spouting LIES!

Thank you! 😃

Welcome my friend

My parents wouldn't let me, because of war also, otherwise I would love to live in Yemen, a beautiful place and brothers, perhaps not so comfortable like here but with the amount of fitnah and haram here i guess it would have good and bad stuff...

where from ؟ @@JibreelProductions

@@a21 Argentina born but in Spain now brother. Tho here they mistakenly take me as a Moroccan/Arab xD. They aren't used to other races of muslims Tho I don't blame them to be honest.

But of course....no girls/women.

@@colindaniels8400 من قال لك ذلك نحن نعلم نسائنا والدتي طبيبة واختي ومساعدة طبيب وزوجتي مربية اطفال

... but girls are not allowed to study. YOU WAISTED TIME AND MONEY ON THEM. POINT.

Most people in Yemen are addicted to a drug called Khat. The Khat trees have been planted on the best farm land. Yemen used to be self-sufficient in food.

​@@colindaniels8400 You missed the point, Colin. He was praising the dedication of the Yemeni students vs their Saudi classmates. Their gender is irrelevant to the story.

Beautiful "people". Beautiful men you mean? Because no girls were anywhere to be seen 👀

Do you mean beautiful men? They seem to multiply without females in that country. Or is their female livestock locked away?

Keeping it halal brother. I think we lost a lot of the concept of privacy in the west, people film literally all they do in their life. Perhaps it's cool to have some private stuff, like your family and whatnot, Idk if I would show my wife and kids online haha. I watch these mainly for the architecture, and the best prayers for my brothers there also of course. Peace.

We have women out doors, it’s disrespectful to film them without their permission.

Because no women there wants to be filmed, when will you people understand that this is what these women are comfortable with?

I am Irish and I do not want to be filmed and particularly without my permission.

Glad to hear that

❤

yes the ones who arent trying to murder you

unlike muricans who kil*led and destroyed the middle east. I mean where they didn't go and destroy that place? they're a degree above their british brothers. @@kellymulderino7156

AND NO GIRLS ALLOWED TO STUDY OR BE ANYTHING...

Governments ARE the problem. All the common folk want to do is live their lives in peace.

please stop youtube & go see the world by yourself. it is not apparent, IT IS FACT. poor unprivileged people are incredibly kind, contrary to the rich privileged one. burn your phone, buy a plane ticket go live your life instead of using yt procuration

@@unAgorist Some of us have other commitments. If life was as simple as jumping on a plane and travelling the world, we would all be doing it. It's a privilege to be able to do that. Not everyone is so lucky.

@@OrganMusicYT nope, nothing to do with luck. in my case i had to stop the heavy adventures not because i had a wife & many kids but because i had an accident & became disabled : BAD LUCK (& some unconsciousness too i'll give you that, i messed up on the way). still we managed to take them on 3 different continents, the eldest is 12, they swim with turtles they free ride mountains they speak 3 languages, while we are, what the west call us in the west : "a poor family living under the poverty line". you're a westerner, you're privileged, free yourself, all your blocks are an illusion.

@@unAgorist life is all about luck. You can do whatever you want, what's for you won't go past you.

Us foreigners dont learn english in school we learn it with pop culture, movies, music and internet, thats it.

@@TheDianaJC My niece, who went to school in Copenhagen might dispute that but I have no personal experience. By the way it's NOT "us foreigners, it's WE foreigners.. Perhaps a class might serve you.

this comment didnt age well 🤣

​@@leafarasta4517 It did age well. They are such a wonderful country and people. Despite poverty, they are willing to risk their lives for Palestinians. Also it's been more than a month since Americans and British started attacking Yemen and they still hit your ships. Now what does that make of you and your vile comment?

​@@leafarasta4517They never attacked Yemen they attacked the houthis

Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! 🙏🏼

@@ItsLifeJim007 like the Christian’s are for equal rights for women? They can rule over their own bodies? I would say keep your righteous nonsense for yourself!

​@@ItsLifeJim007 There are no females that's why it's called YeMEN.

They kill homosexuals in Yemen 🇾🇪

@AntoinetteTurkle --> Didn't you notice that there are no women visible ?? .. You are a woman. In Yemen, women are not allowed to ride bicycles. .. You need an objective view of Yemen. Your blindness will get you killed.

​@@armontsDo not try to judge with limited understanding of human society and culture.

But he is right, no women allowed to give their views on anything and noticed by their absence.

@@poppypoopapie Have you been to Yemen. If you don't understand their cultural value and social norm please keep mum.

How about you start doing some actual work? Instead of play football and watch videos about your country on KZfaq? Maybe help your country to be better..

@@Sumea_Saukko Who are you to talk about something that does not concern you? Ask anyone in Yemen how I fixed many problems. Caring for poor families, I built shelters in Aden and Mukalla, it's not your business to tell me what to do.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for the kind words! 🙏🏼

It's definitely not beautiful.

@@valentino3228 I think you have to be there to appreciate it. It's stark, and severe, like many of its people. And yet it's enticing, mesmerizing, drawing you in, keeping you once you arrive. And yes, it's dangerous. If the people don't kill you, the country might do it for them. It's not a gentle landscape, but a powerful one.

It's my pleasure! 🇾🇪

Yemen lately has been mostly known for the atrocities by Saudi Arabia, killing and starving people, especially children!

Beautiful country I hope to someday visit but for now I’ll live vicariously

@@nitemare_breezy1454don’t believe propaganda,it’s pretty safe ,I’m here on a vacation and it’s more safe than NYC.just stay away from politics

I saw not one women or any young girls in this entire video civilization?

Glad you liked it!

It's a nation that has many Islamic terrorists.

That's great that all is well in Yemen. So the west can stop aid money!

@@Kevin-Schmevin like in most muslim countries men rule the streets and women rule the homes. So men are outside and women are inside most of the time. Its the same in India for example but less. Its the eastern way of "gender equality".

That's because the reality there for most of the backward, repressed, 11th century islamic society is just that context. War, because they can't get along internally, famine, (do you see rain?), disease (the gov. pours money in military and itself), misery, because it is a miserable place to live for most people.

Yeah, if it's so great why don't you go to live there?

@@paulietv2162 You can read? Can't you?

Much like Poland, it once had a thriving Jewish community that was persecuted and exiled. The Jews of Yemen are says to be the most authentic to ancient Judean practice and customs and they strongly preserve Yemenite Judaism. Jewish exiles of Yemen are the most accessible Yemenites. Though there are no Jews there, it is the most antisemitic society on earth. The less functional a country the more antisemitic.

​@@paulietv2162clown

@@paulietv2162 Why so negative towards the person that would like to visit Yemen.

May the Gods bless us all.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and there’s also an entire series of 5 episodes in case you want to watch more on the channel!

@@AleSalvino thank you for your nice word and answer. Of course I will see the other episode’s. Thank you so much🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸

Glad you enjoyed it!

Next

What an amazing place and people 🙏🏼 🇾🇪

Are women welcome as tourists? Where are the women in this video? Are they only allowed to stay at home?

It is just that our tradition sometimes are quite strict when it comes to photograph women. In addition to that, most of the places Mr.Salvino visited were for visitors and mainly for men but if he visited local markets, shopping areas, or schools the majority of the people he will encounter will be women. Despite the unstable political situation in Yemen, believe it or not you actually can visit the island of Socotra. Believe me you will not regret it. All the best, Cheers!! @@jilllangman9343

Fabulous informative tour. What strikes me most is the children...so respectful and seemingly well-educated. Quite an achievement considering all the conflict there. I learnt a lot, thank you so much.

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏼

Welcome to my happy Yemen 🇾🇪I hope you visit us again There are still many beautiful areas❤

@@moeon2709Gross!!! You mean that all men and women are highly indoctrinated, persecuted, and oppressed, and that’s so terrible that YOU can’t see that, and are making excuses for this in the world! Shame on you! Shame on all religious, indoctrinated, sheeple! Because that’s what you’re defining and defending. Is what it means to be a “sheeple”!

I can reply as someone who has spent time in Saudi Arabia. I worked as a woodworking teacher and almost all of my students were women, and most of the staff too. Ok, it’s not Yemen, but I had an insight into Arabian culture, and Saudi is very conservative albeit undergoing a huge cultural shift right now. So, what I can tell you is that my experience showed me that women there would be considered to be oppressed by western standards, but in fact as in every part of the world, most people are happy with their culture and traditions, and see no problem with how things are. They’re not miserable. It’s too complex to explain here in brief, but by and large Arab culture honours women, and that they have enormous power in society, just not in the ways we would consider normal. Arab culture values family and tribal bonds to such a degree that they are very wary of following the western model. They don’t like what they see, and they have a point, not that I would want to live in that way, but it is clear that we westerners judge things by our own standards without knowing a thing about the reality. No society is perfect, and there are always abuses of power. Here it is as much of an economic issue as well. The poorer the families the more likely they are to adhere most rigidly to traditional ways. I’m surprised that there are no women and girls in the street in this video, but also one has to know that by day it is extremely hot, and most of the life of an Arabian city takes place when the sun goes down. So, hope this helps by way of some explanation, and that you maybe don’t have to feel saddened by that aspect of this video. Also, there’s a war going on there, and so circumstances don’t follow normal ways perhaps.

​@@moeon2709so you speak for everyone in Yemen? You are declaring all girls and women to be happy. Yemen is a shlthole. It would surprise me if anyone was happy living there.

⁠​⁠@@vivekachudamani1 Arab culture is very misunderstood and the only way to understand our culture is by visiting and interacting with the people. I’m from Saudi and I appreciate your work in my country❤ Salam🤝

You’re right. It’s like a horror movie where the Martians have abducted all the females.

Thanks so much! 🙏🏼

some are probably friendly

There is nothing "friendly" about Islam. One wrong move and they will separate your head from your body....
