Pingback: Sana’a today: A foreign student gives his view | The Wadi
Thanks so much for posting this! I’m planning to study in Sana’a and in recent months there have been so many negative stories about the security situation that I was beginning to despair. It’s nice to hear an alternate view. I’ll certainly remain cautious, but now I have some hope again. Looking forward to your next blog post.
