Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Dozens Killed in Yemen Clashes

HeadlineJun 01, 2011

At least 41 people have been killed in overnight clashes in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a. Witnesses say government forces fired on the headquarters of a brigade linked to the opposition against President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The Yemeni government has also cut electricity and water supplies in Sana’a’s Hassaba neighborhood, home to an influential anti-Saleh tribal leader. Another 12 people were killed in the southern city of Taiz after Saleh’s forces attacked a protest camp in the city center.
