Letters to the Editor [Archives:2003/05/Letters to the Editor]
Hello from Wales
I enjoy reading the Yemen Times and thank you for all your hard work. I live in UK (Wales). I spent 13 months in Yemen in 1966/67 as a British soldier and have followed all the events since. I would love one day to return and explore your country.
Thank you Yemen Times and God bless you all

Greetings from Cuba
I would like to greet you from Cuba and thank you Yemen Times for all the information that I am receiving from your very good journal.
I was working for five years in your very beautiful country as a professor of Pediatrics in the University of Aden. During many occasions I participated in courses for the Doctors in Sana’a.
I hope, in the next future, to travel to the University of Sana’a as a Professor of Pediatrics.

Cancer problem in Yemen
How long will we have to wait till the oncology center in Sana,a starts working ? Why this delay?
I would like to ask the officials who are responsible toward the establishment of this vital and necessary medical and radiation oncology institute.
Too many Yemenis are sent abroad for treatment -and of course there are those who cannot afford such trips and they end up staying in Yemen and suffering a lot of pain .
I have always said that Yemen needs to improve its cancer care, especially since the number of people with this disease is increasing.

How others see us
Yemen is one of the most important Arabic countries. It has an important place on the map. Also it has important views and great tourism.
In spite of all the most these things, Yemen has become one of the most dangerous countries in the world. But why? Why all the problems in front us without any causes?
These problems result in things like assassinations and other attacks.
Naturally, we will find false opinions in the international society. From that direction, many people think most Yemeni’s are terrorists, because Osama Bin Laden is one of them.
They look at things like the bombed destroyer, the USS Cole and the recent killing of three American aid workers in Jibla.
Another reason people fear us is because the Yemenis have guns, and it is a big problem especially when they have guns without permission.
But I think Yemeni people are carrying guns for the prestige.
So is it possible to change such false thinking? And when?
Finally, I hope to live in a peace and a safety world without wars, and without destruction.

Family planning
I think the growth of the population here in Yemen is among the fastest in the world for many reasons, one of them being the customs of society.
Today many organizations help our government have solutions for this big problem. They try to inform the families about family planning.
These organizations follow many methods like making multi-programs in the different multi-media like T.V, radio, and the newspaper to make their results prosperous.
All these programs help the people to know the importance of family planning.
In the end I wish happy life to every family in our lovely country.
