Our bleak future [Archives:2005/834/Letters to the Editor]

Tariq al-Naggar
When I sit down to think about our future in Yemen, I see nothing! It's nothing in comparison to the other Arab countries. I would not be exaggerating if I say that we are a backward country, especially when compared to other countries such as Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

I often wonder about something and get confused when thinking about our graduates, and those with high qualifications. Have they failed us? Are they responsible for the failure in reforming this country? Or is it because of the corruption and those cold people who steal public wealth and depriving the very needy, even the sick from their basic needs.

I call on everyone who has conscience, integrity or sincerity to do the best on reforming and finding solutions to this thorny problem. This is our home and it means everything to us.

My hope is that somebody reads this note and tells me where and how to find hope. Is there anyone who will write back to me?
