Talking about Yemen...
Is anyone able to translate this handwritten arabic note on the #Dschambiya (dagger)?
I think it is some kind of wish or motto or blessing. But unfortunately I am not able to read it.
I brought it home from reportage travel to #Yemen years ago.
It is a simple, but quite beautiful piece of handwork, manufactured in one of the countless workshops of Sanaa, Aden or Hajjah.
Forgotten wars
A most beautiful country with beautiful people. Rich cultural heritage. But torn by wars that have been forgotten already long ago.
Usually we only think of it when our oil/fuel prices rise following some idiotic intervention (read: imperialistic warmongering) by the US cleptocracy.
Nihil novum sub sole.
