Yemen needs a complete make over!!!Eliminate Ali Abdullah Saleh. Eliminate the corruption of North Yemen (Ziod). Eliminate Tribes. Eliminate QAT. Re-educate people and focus the education on young generation that can be influnced. Yes, the problem is in our hand and every Yemeni in Yemen is lazy to get up and do somthing about.Please are scared - bring real domocracy not Ali's version of democracy. Bring real freedom of speach. Basically Yemen is a complete mess and no one wants to know.

Unfortunately one reason why children are employed is because adult men are too argumentitive or corrupt and untrustworthy to employ. There is also an increasing trend to employ women, Bengalis, Indians, because they are more hard working and a woman can sometimes be trusted more in the job.

They need to stop having so many children, when they lack the resources necessary to take care of them.

Dear Yemenis, We all agree, corruption in all levels of the government is to blame for this and more. The enhiertted, Egyptian, system proved to not work and it is corrupt. Yemen needs a relvelution, an economic relveloution and change of the status quo.A Yemeni in America- Al-Zuberry
