    Some people seem to still earnestly believe that Iran fully controls the Houthis and are bewildered why they haven't jumped to action. While there are strategic and pragmatic reasons why, and Houthis may still make a move, I want to reiterate again that Houthis are not merely "a

    No amount of words can express my gratitude for everyone's support & relentless campaigning to release me. I owe my life to you all. #Yemen

    The Serbian Orchestra performing Bella Ciao on video call. #StayAtHome. During these dire times, let's remember that our strength is in our unity, in being kind, being human. This is for you #Italy, we care, we wish we could do more, #WeAreAllInThisTogether, #ItalyStayStrong.

    I was so annoyed when someone today told me they thought #Yemen was some arid, dry, Sahara (thanks to Disney romanticism of Arabia). Dude, my country is breathtakingly gorgeous with its green mountains, lush valleys, and pearly beaches. Don't they have Google in YOUR country?

    It's Friday, day of week Muslims congregate. Taking my two young boys to mosque now where will pray for the 49 deceased in New Zealand terror attack and their families. I'm angry, but won't pray for God to extract revenge, rather guide those souls filled with hate and bigotry.

    Days earlier, told son about #ThaiCaveRescue and he's been asking for updates. Today is his birthday. He wanted me to send the Thai kids a pic of him & friends holding a photo print of 12 and Arabic: "قلوبنا معكم" (our hearts are with you) from #Yemen Praying ALL 12 see it soon.

    Not sure if they're about to announce Third Reich or beginning of Hunger Games in US #Election2016 but equally terrifying to us in #Yemen

    This is what our children have to go through everyday. Relentless & inhuman airstrikes on Sana'a amidst deafening global silence. #Yemen

    Sana'a is being bombed right now. Other cities reporting same. Can't help but think that there were no lessons learned from 8 years of relentless bombing that have achieved nothing but devastation and despair to #Yemen-is.

    I miss home. My village, alSaddah, waking up to birds chirping, lush landscape, the small rivers with kids swimming and playful carefree. The kind elders parting much wisdom on the green banks. Had little, but content and happy. War is hell. Must end it before all is lost. #Yemen

    Dear Twitter tribe, I'm fine. Promise to respond to messages soon. Don't want to talk about past events or politics. Thanks to you and a presidential amnesty from Sumad (may he RIP), leaving it all behind to focus on wellbeing & happiness of my kids, and completing my MA studies.
