Southern Yemen

Today Abigail Fielding-Smith published what I think is a fantastic piece of journalism on southern Yemen and Aden.  I encourage all of you to read her fine piece.

Indeed, as Yemen becomes more fractured and fragmented I think this is exactly the type of journalism that we need to see more of: in-depth pieces on a particular region.  I don’t think broad overview pieces of Yemen as a whole do any of us any good anymore.  Yemen is too divided for that.  No longer is it accurate to talk about Yemen; now we need to start talking about the different Yemens.
