My friend & colleague Shuaib M. Almosawa, a very hardworking, diligent journalist in Yemen, has been diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin lymphoma. If you know his work, please consider helping him & his family. He is in India where he hopes to get treatment.

US officials are now openly talking about blocking the peace process between Saudis & Yemenis.
