Rain in Yemen

Assalamu alaikum wr wb,

There had been thunderstorms everyday for a week and I was curled up cozy in bed happy to be there with a thunderstorm outside. There was a lot of gunfire, but that is normal - wedding, land dispute, fireworks...then I reached my phone to see the time 3:08am, and some messages. "Operation Decisive storm, Saudi jets strike Sana'a."

We are now in the sixth consecutive day of strikes. The first few days were very targeted at military installations, but now things are getting a bit random. A strike hit a long standing refugee camp in northern Yemen, and in Yareem (Ibb governorate) many civilians were killed over night.

Many people have left Sana'a for their villages, but many have no where else to go and are stocking up on supplies of food staples. Many foreigners - students and workers are stranded in Sana'a unable to be evacuated.

We only expect things to get worse. Ground troops, food shortages, water shortages, illness...

This is a pack rape on Yemeni people while the political elite who cooked up this mess are safely out of the country.

For now, tape up the windows and stay cool. We can't do anything about it except make du'a. We have a fair idea of where this is heading...I suggest you read up on Akhir Zaman.
