Yemen is Not Afghanistan - Yet

Sana,  the capital city proves the country is far from the gloomy picture of a terrorists' homeland. ++ In spite of Al Qaeda's deterring influence on tourism, there are English-speaking newspapers, N.G.O.s and a Yemeni population willing to overcome difficulties.++ But Sana's week central government over a "patchwork of rural tribes" has allowed Al Qaeda to take root in the lawless southern region. ++ Most Yemeni people are illiterate and live on less than $2 a day. ++ Education good governance are solutions to stop the "Al Qaeda Virus."
