The conflict in Yemen: everyday stories from a Yemeni Facepuncher
550 replies, posted
God, fuck hail. I worked out of doors last summer, we got hit by that shit.
Not as bad as the lightening or the tornadoes though. FUCK tornadoes.
Hearing Aircrafts flying around heavily around my area.
That sounds lovely to sleep on. I hope I don't die before waking up this morning.
if am being honest here. am actually scared a bit right now.
I wasn't aware of this thread before today, and I ended up reading all of it.
I'm thrilled and immersed by reading your posts, and it really makes me think about how little I know about the conflict and how it must feel to be a part of it.
If nothing else, your writings give us luckier people insight into how you have it practically and mentally, and it really is touching and informative.
I'll continue reading this thread until the conflict is over - let's hope it comes to an end sooner rather than later.

Thank you for your concern. although hoping that it will end much sooner sounds more like a far off dream.
Also surprisingly enough I was able to sleep last night. although I have minor headache at the moment.

I'm thinking those headaches are stress-induced, you always mentioned having them either during or after serious bombardments if I remember correctly.
Stay safe, bro. Do whatever you can to relax and take your mind off things, lots of stress is unhealthy.

How is it going over there? Anything new? What about those headaches you said you had? Hopefully you are feeling better.

everything is fine really. as always, random air strikes, little bit more louder than usual. don't worry the headaches aren't a big deal as much as before. just living I guess.
I cleaned the restroom pipes because apparently there was some alien like smell coming out of it. My fucking fridge insides got frozen so I had to fix that up, what else, uh I had to do a checkup for my eye from an Ophthalmologists but for some reason he had red eyes so I was kinda skeptical if he should be the one treating me, also somehow my best friend after 10 years of using the most smallest and shittiest laptop I ever seen, he got a gaming laptop and every day he has to tell me about the graphics whenever he sees a plant pot or plate filled with fruits, I love him.
although I keep getting unknown numbers of people trying to seduce me in messages. ironic enough none of them believe that am a male being who does not want babies because I don't even have enough money to take care of a baby. also don't have over 9 cats. they pee everywhere.
Oh right I made a original comic series. I need to get to that at some point.
So nothing serious happened. hopefully it stays that way.

I love that a day where nothing happens is a damn good day
you be safe
fresh new pair of air strikes.
I wonder what they destroyed today.
Edit: Based on what I heard they seem to have bomb the president's house. that's the only info I got so far.
more news?
p.s
stay safe :godzing:

Been much more quiet and normal these days. there are times where we hear air crafts but nothing out of ordinary. at the moment am happy with my situation.
What would be a lovely day to start off.
A nice coffee? Nice little shower? Saudi Bombing a funeral?
They just bombed a funeral.
almost 100 people are dead, this is not okay.
Edit: They have confirmed that 400 people are dead

Christ, I hope you are alright. That is just bloody awful, why did the bomb the funeral? Were any of your friends or family hurt? :C

none that I know off. The only motive I heard about the bombing is simply because President Ali Abdullah Saleh was going to be *there* so basically they might have bombed a whole funeral just over a rumour, am not positive about this though since this still happened today. but what I know is that they still dragging out the bodies..
Stay safe bro, it will all be fine, try to gtfo if you can though
Fucking hell man. It just started to sound like things were quieting down as well.
I'm glad you're ok. I read about it earlier, was a "double tap" bombing. They bombed once, waited for people to show up to help and bombed it again... Afterwards I heard of more airstrikes around the city. They then fucking claimed they didn't bomb it, after the UN condemned them. People were filming the aftermath, that's when you see the second bomb hit, someone used a drone to take pics afterward of the bombings as well.
Any updates? It's been a little while. Hope everything is okay over there.
Guessing things have calmed down?

Everything is totally fine, just busy with education for this whole year that's all.
Although I do have some extra info to add:
I did visit the funeral, the one that got bombed. and I went in with a few of my friends with me. the amount of damage is indescribable, am surprised they were able to get the bodies out. I can tell you. it smells extremely horrible. basically what would you expect from 400 dead bodies. the guards in the building gave us a limited time to tour so we weren't allowed to stay for very long. also a whole street has been renamed based on the incident.
although I visited it a month ago, not sure how different it is now. but how about some good news instead.
Do you know electricity now exists? I took a shower like a normal being for once. it's nice.
Any update on the situation over there? How are you holding up?

Couldn't have been better. It just old plain life in here so far, although you free to ask about anything since I have no idea what to update in here.
Geeze, this thread was made in 2015.
Well I suppose the situation is defused for now.
Do tell us if something actually happens again, it's always interesting to hear.
What's the overall situation in the country nowadays? Been a while since I heard any news stories.

Everything is not exactly great but can't complain, but atleast since the war is off the table, it's a bit more manageable, plus so far there is electricity from 2-3pm to 10-9pm. but seems alot of people still prefer solar panel technology.

I have a PSP, does that count? also for some reason facepunch was blocked for my Internet for 3 days. not sure what's that about.
Hey it's been a while.
I hope things are ok, I've really been enjoying the art you post on twitter.
If I can be honest, you're quite a bit of an inspiration to me personally.
You've managed to pull through a situation that truly seemed like hell, and if that isn't a true show of character and strength, I don't know what is.
