The Disorganization in Yemen

The country of Yemen still cannot be stabilized. There are constant protests where many of the protestors are being seriously injured or some are even being reported as dead. These protest are the result from the president, Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh is the reason for the injured and for the people who are being killed in these riots. The protest are held for the fact that the anti-government protestors want president Saleh to step down, but he is refusing to give up his power, on the other hand he has decided that he will not participate for the coming 2013 elections. Although, this might bring peace to some residents, but others who know him well have stated that he is just playing an act.

Even though, Yemen is going through protest and other current situations, they still have to remember and deal with the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The United States has been willing in order to help and provide military supplies to Yemen. To the U.S. the al-Qaeda is still a major threat to the country, but in providing this aid might help in stopping them from continuing there terrorist attacks.  

Video about homophobic bullying

The video of homophobic bullying was very moving. The video demonstrated what people should do in order to help out their friends or classmates, instead of letting the bullying go further. Supporting gay, lesbian, or bi won't affect you in a negative way. Many people don't help them because they are afraid of what other people will say about them. This is one reason way many gay, bi, or lesbians won't show their true personality because they are worried of what people might say or think about them.


I believe we should stop this homophobic bullying towards the gay, bi, or lesbians, and instead of harassing them, we should help or stand up for them when they need the support. They are human beings as well and they have feelings too. Their emotions can build up and this could lead them to having emotional stages like depression or even suicide.
