Another Light Shines: Arab Spring in Yemen

In the wee hours of March 18, I was glued  to Al Jazeera Arabic, transfixed as bloodied body after bloodied body was carried into a masjid, or small mosque, set up as a hospital near Sana’a University in Yemen. The footage was harrowing—images of demonstrators with bullet wounds to the head from snipers surrounding the square. March 18 marks one of the bloodiest days of the revolution in Yemen thus far.
