Programming Notes

I will be giving a talk about Pomona College in California (Claremont, near LA) next Monday evening.  If any readers want to come heckle you are more than welcome.  I am not sure the time and place, but I will let you know as soon as I do.

In the meantime, read this ReliefWeb article about IDPs in Yemen's north.  You'll get a sense that while Scorched Earth was a military success, it might make political reconciliation all the more difficult.

And while you are busy being unhappy, check out Paul Stephens' excellent piece on economic disparity in Yemen.  It is both gritty and learned, and continues the great work going on at The Sana'a Bureau.
