Yemen

Hello All,

Here at AC we have just received some distressing news.  One of the staff recently sent out an email to the student body forwarding a message from one of his friends in Yemen.  As tensions rise in Yemen, protests have been breaking out and during the last few days 70 youths have lost their lives.  His friend was forced to leave the country for his own safety, and he has sent out an email describing the current situation in Yemen.  If you would like to read this email, please send me a note at ac11mlah@atlanticcollege.org with your email address.  I don't want to put it out on the web, but please tell me if you would like to read it.  Censorship in Yemen has provided us with a less-than-accurate picture of this country, so messages like this one are extremely valuable.

Let us also remember that tomorrow is International Peace Day.  Please spread the word and take a moment to remember those who are not fortunate enough to have peace in their lives.

Madi
