Announcement Megathread: Let's make r/Yemen better, we want your ideas

Upvotes

We think it's time to change some things around here, and we want to hear from you first.

Tell us what you want changed and how you'd actually do it. We're after solutions, not complaints about the current state. Saying "this place is dead" doesn't get us anywhere. Saying "here's a weekly thread idea that would get people posting" does.

What we want to do:

  • Grow the sub and make it more active
  • Update the rules
  • Add new mods to the team

If you want to help mods, leave a comment or send us a modmail.

We've asked for feedback before and only got a few replies. Then a year or two later, complaints come back around. Let's break that cycle this time. Put your thoughts in the comments but keep it civil.

خلونا نطوّر، نشتي نسمع أفكاركم

نشوف إنه وصل الوقت نغيّر شوية أشياء في السب، وأول شي نشتي نسمع منكم

قولوا لنا إيش تشتوا يتغيّر، وكيف ممكن ينفّذ على أرض الواقع. احنا ندوّر على حلول، مش شكوى من الوضع بس. واحد يقول "المكان ميت" ما يفيدش، لكن واحد يقول "عندي فكرة منشور أسبوعي يخلي الناس تتفاعل" ذي تفيد.

إيش نشتي نسويه:

نكبّر السب ريديت ونخليه أنشط

نحدّث القوانين والمحتوى يحتاج تحديث

نضيف مشرفين جدد للفريق

لو تشتي تساعدنا في الإشراف، اكتب تعليق أو أرسل لنا مودميل

طلبنا آراءكم من قبل ووصلتنا ردود قليلة، وبعدين بسنة أو سنتين ترجع نفس الملاحظات من جديد. خلونا نكسر الدورة اكتبوا أفكاركم في التعليقات.

Discussion يا أصل العرب 🇾🇪

Upvotes

السلام عليكم يا أصل العرب 🇾🇪

بعد طول انتظار لقينا مكان نجتمع فيه ونتابع أخبار اليمن واليمنيين… قلت خلاص، هذا مكاننا، بنرتاح هنا.

دخلت الصب وأنا متحمس، أول ما بدأت أتنقل بين البوستات قلت: لحظة… أنا دخلت r/Yemen ولا بالغلط دخلت صب إنجليزي؟

والأغرب إن كثير من البوستات بالإنجليزي، وأقول لو أصحابها أجانب قلنا معليش، لكن لا… يمنيين ومن بني جلدتنا

يا جماعة الخير، ما فيها شيء لو كتبنا بالعربي. بالعكس، هذا صب يمني، خلونا نخلي اليمني إذا دخل يحس إنه بين أهله وناسه، مش يحتاج يفتح Google Translate عشان يفهم محتوى المنشور

الإنجليزي أكيد ما عندنا مشكلة معه، واللي يحب يكتب إنجليزي بكيفه، لكن أتمنى ما يكون هو اللغة الأساسية في صب المفروض إنه يجمع اليمنيين.

يعني يا جماعة، عندنا لهجات يمنية ما تنفهم إلا بعد ثلاث محاولات، وقمنا فوقها نكتب إنجليزي

خلونا نعطي لغتنا حقها، ونخلي الصب فعلًا يمني بكل ما فيه.

وشكرًا..

Discussion Looking for Yamani friends in USA to connect with on discord and potentialy in real life where are you guys ?

Upvotes

Yamanites are spread out world wide it’s crazy.
Im someone who is looking for friends in USA. Don’t really know the tribe on my fathers side apart from being hadhrami and Al amry who are located in seiyun and mukalah but I know hamdan is on my mothers side and possibly As Salamah . Looking for friends between 18-39 who reside in USA. I would love to connect with anyone, regardless of it being a man or a women.
I love history among other things. Its honoring that Yemen is mentioned in hadith as a place of blessing.

Im honestly just looking for people i can relate with on a personal level. It’s isolating to be surrounded by westerners when I know if I meet another Yemeni I’ve found family. A sense of familiarity. I’ve recently been trying to look into ancestry to see roots since Im one of those people whose family has had a disconnect at a particular generational point. I hardly come across Yemenis in USA it’s just here and there.

Would also love to Learn Yemeni Arabic, but it’s hard if I don’t have Arab speakers around me.
Also is there an Arab registry that traces roots back to the 7th century or beyond?

I know there there are some Yemenis I it there who are also lost as individuals and trying to trace their roots. Weather you are from MA, NY, CA, FL, NC or where ever. Please reach out.

Edited: I will be near modtown Manhattan NY this Friday if you are interested to connect on قحو أو شاى

Discussion الحرب اليمنية تشتعل مجددا و اجتياح بري شامل مرتقب قريباً !

Upvotes

ايش توقعاتكم وتحليلاتكم للي مهتم ومتابع الشأن اليمني ؟

حاليا من فجر 3 سبتمبر الاشتباكات بين القوات الحكومية - الشرعية والحوثيين ما توقفت ، وبل تصاعدت مساء هذا اليوم وبشكل صاروخي وجنوني الحوثيين هذا اليوم اعلنو انهم شنو هجمة على مناطق جهة تعز وسيطرو على عدة مواقع والجيش بعد كم ساعة اعلن استردادها بهجوم مضاد و اسر کم حوثي ( تم نشر فديو الاسرى ) و اعلنو كذالك على تقدم لمواقع جديدة والحوثيين من جهتهم كذالك يحاولو يشنو هجمات مكثفه على جبهة تعز و انباء المعارك تطلع من كل المحاور من مأرب والمخا وتعز بالدقائق حرفيا ، من شهادات مدنية - مراسلين الحرب - اذاعة الجيش - القنوات المحلية إلخ

والقرار السياسي للحرب تم اتخاذه فعليا وما باقي غير فقط يوم الى ثلاث ايام بالكثير ويتم اعلان الحرب الشاملة والاجتياح البري بعد انتهاء مرحلة التمهيد الناري ضد مناطق سيطرة الحوثيين

السؤال هنا هل الحوثي بيقدر يصمد فعلا قدام تحشيد جرار من جميع انحاء اليمن بجيش قوامه 300 - 500 الف عسكري بالميدان ؟ وبل متوحد تحت غرفة عمليات موحدة لأول مرة منذ بداية الانقلاب والحرب الاهلية ومصفر الخلافات داخلياً بزمن الحرب وتم اعادة بناء وتأسيس المؤسسة العسكرية من الصفر خلال الشهور الماضية ب اعادة هيكلة شاملة ، الحرب الاولى كان الحوثي يواجه بواقي جيش مفكك ومؤسسة عسكرية منهارة ومعارضة شعبية أو رجال القبائل او مجندین جدد بلا ای خبرة وتدريب لسد نقص الجبهات وبدون قيادة موحده وكل جبهة تقاتل لحالها بلا تنسيق بشكل فوضوي وعبثي ، مع ذالك اثبتت الجبهات المشرذمة هذه فعاليتها بالصمود ضد الاجتياح الحوثي ببدايات الحرب 2014 - 2016

ف هل الان بيستطيع الصمود لمن تنقلب الادوار ويضطر هو للدفاع بدل من الهجوم ؟ الحوثيين حاليا مهمتهم بزمن الحرب مش شن حملات اجتياح بري ، بقدر ما انهم يحاولو يصمدو ويخلو تكلفه الحرب عالية على القيادة السياسية وتأخيرها قدر الامكان تأملاً ب اي تدخل دولي محتمل لكن مع ذالك وبنظرتي شخصيا للأمور اعتقد ان سيناريو سوريا نفسه بيحصل باليمن لكن على حساب عشرات الألاف من الضحايا ، صعب جدا الحوثي يصمد هذه المره قدام جيش جرار مسنود ب اقتصاد حرب محترم يمكنه من الصمود بدون اي انهيار بالتمويل للجيش ف بنظري اشوف ان الحرب هذه غالبا بتنتهي بسقوطهم ب انهيار جبهة مأرب ثم تعز ومن تعز يتم شن حملة عسكرية على الحديدة ولو تم فعلا كذا سيناريو وسقطت الحديدة من ايدهم بتنهار باقي الجبهات تلقائيا كونه مصدر تمويلهم الوحيد سقط

صراحة ارتقب اخبار الجبهات بفارغ الصبر ، ال 48 - 72 ساعة القادمة مصيرية جدا ، ايش رايكم ؟

Discussion A Money Changer in Aden, 1900…!

Upvotes

A rare photograph from Aden, taken more than a century ago, showing a man sitting with a number of coins arranged in piles on a piece of cloth in front of him.

The British National Archives identified the photograph with a single word: “Saraf,” meaning “money changer.” This description corresponds remarkably well with what can be seen in front of the man: coins of different types, suggesting that he was engaged in exchanging and handling currency, a profession closely associated with commercial cities and ports such as Aden.

We do not know the exact name of this man, but photographs like this provide a rare glimpse into everyday life and occupations in Aden more than a century ago.

Photograph reference: CO 1069-679-6

Date: 1900

Location: Aden

History Looking for an ancient bronze cannon in the Sana'a Military Museum – Does it still exist?

Upvotes

Hello everyone in Sana'a and [r/Yemen](r/Yemen)!
I am an art historian looking for a specific bronze cannon. The piece was cast in 1513 in Innsbruck (Austria) by Jörg Seelos on behalf of Emperor Maximilian I. It has the inscription "IORG SELOS GOS MICH 1513".
According to historical records, it has been kept in the Military Museum in Sana'a since the mid-20th century.
Does anyone know if the cannon is still on display there, or does anyone happen to have photos of it? Any information or leads would be immensely helpful. Thank you so much!

HELP Are there any other websites where I can view Yemeni History (especially Red Yemen)? The website of Ali Nasir Muhammad (alinaser.com) is no longer available.

Upvotes

alinaser.com used to be a website I loved to visit, due to it's photo archives. My favorite photo galleries in the archives were about Democratic Yemen since that state is my favorite historical Arab regime (I really love South Yemen's Socialist period from 1969 to 1990. Important to note that I do not support the the Southern separatists). I loved viewing photos & videos of the military, the Yemeni Socialist Party (and affiliated organizations), the cultural photographs, day in life in Red Yemen and many more.

One day around July 2026, I tried visiting the site only for it to show a 403 error. I let it pass, thinking that the site would return once a bunch of weeks have passed.

When I revisited the site just last month however, the site no longer showes a 403 error but rather, it redirects instead to some scam site called "wargatoto".

I also tried browsing through the internet archive version of the website but unfortunately, the PDR Yemen section of the site isn't completely archived.

Now the questions are these:

  1. Was the website finally shut down for good?
  2. Does the error only show up where I live (Philippines)?
  3. Does Ali Nasir's site have a new domain perhaps?
  4. If it's gone for good, what are any alternative websites to alinaser.com ?

At this point, I don't have any hopes that the site would return tbh. But if ever you're browsing this in the future and notice that the site works normally, just inform me. Till then, I'm not gonna visit it.
Also, a Yemeni Marxist I know on Discord, Twitter and Substack (Al-Aidaroos) said that he would include a history archives for Yemen's Socialist past on the POFYS website freeyemenis.org so I hope that I get notified about it too in the future.

History ‏احاديث في فضل أهل اليمن

Upvotes

طبعًا، هذه الأحاديث تتحدث عن أهل اليمن في زمن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولا أقصد أن أقول إن هذه الصفات تنطبق على كل يمني في زماننا، فالله أعلم بحال الناس اليوم.
لكنني أحب أهل اليمن كثيرًا، وأحب هذه الأحاديث وما فيها من ثناء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على أهل اليمن، ولذلك أحببت أن أشاركها معكم.
وأنا أصلًا لست يمنيًا، لكنني أقولها بكل محبة: ليتني كنت يمنيًا من قبيلة النخع !

عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم :

« أَتَاكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ، هُمْ أَرَقُّ أَفْئِدَةً وَأَلْيَنُ قُلُوبًا، الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ، وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ ».

« الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ، وَالْفِقْهُ يَمَانٍ، وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ ».

ولم أذكر إلا هذين الحديثين، وهناك أيضًا أحاديث أخرى في فضل أهل اليمن. أنا لست يمنيًّا على الإطلاق، ولكن ما أحب هذا الشعب ! وسأذكر لكم أيضًا نصًّا أظن أنه غير معروف عند كثير من الناس في زماننا، يتعلق بقبيلة يمنية على وجه الخصوص، وهي النَّخَع :

َقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: « اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ فِي النَّخَعِ »

‏عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه :
شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُو لِهَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ النَّخَعِ، أَوْ قَالَ: يُثْنِي عَلَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ

وهذا واحدٌ من كبار الصحابة، لما رأى من فضائل هذه القبيلة، بلغ به الأمر أن تمنى أن يكون منهم!
وأنا أيضًا كنت أتمنى لو كنت واحدًا منهم!
ومن أشهر وأعظم المسلمين المعروفين من هذه القبيلة :

أولًا: من الصحابة رضي الله عنهم

١. أَرْطَأَةُ بنُ شُرَاحِيلَ النَّخَعِيُّ
صحابيٌّ من قبيلة النخع، وكان أحدَ الرجلين اللذين وفدا على رسول الله ﷺ عن قومهما، فأسلما وبايعاه على قومهما.

٢. الجُهَيْشُ بنُ الأَرْقَمِ النَّخَعِيُّ
صحابيٌّ من قبيلة النخع، وفد مع أرطأة على رسول الله ﷺ، فأسلم وبايع، وأثنى النبي ﷺ على شأنهما وحُسن هيئتهما.

ثانيًا: من كبار التابعين وليسوا من الصحابة

٣. عَلْقَمَةُ بنُ قَيْسٍ النَّخَعِيُّ
من كبار التابعين، ومن أبرز أصحاب عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه، وكان من كبار فقهاء الكوفة وقرّائها.

٤. الأَسْوَدُ بنُ يَزِيدَ النَّخَعِيُّ
من كبار التابعين، وفقيهٌ عابدٌ من أعلام الكوفة، روى عن عدد من الصحابة، منهم عبد الله بن مسعود وعائشة رضي الله عنهما.

٥. إِبْرَاهِيمُ بنُ يَزِيدَ النَّخَعِيُّ
من كبار التابعين وأئمة الفقه في الكوفة، وكان من أبرز علماء مدرسة عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه، واشتهر بالفقه والعلم.

شخصيًا، لم ألتقِ في حياتي إلا بيمنيٍّ واحد، وكان ذلك عندما كنت في مكة المكرمة، في المسجد، ولا زلت أتذكر ذلك إلى اليوم، وسأظل أتذكره طوال حياتي. كان لطيفًا جدًا في كلامه، وكان حسن الهيئة جميل المظهر.
هذا المنشور ليس مهمًّا جدًا، وإنما أردت فقط أن أشارككم هذه
الأحاديث، لأنها تُسعدني كثيرًا!

‏ومرة أخرى، ليتني كنت يمنيًّا من قبيلة النَّخَع !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Passing of Captain Ali Mohammed Nashtan

With hearts that believe in Allah’s decree and destiny, we mourn the passing of the legendary football star and historic top scorer, Captain Ali Mohammed Ali Nashtan, who passed away today, Friday, August 28, 2026.

He was a man who carried the banner of Southern Yemeni football during its golden era, leaving an everlasting mark on the football fields. His career began with Al-Shabab Sports Club in Crater, Aden, followed by spells with Al-Ahli, Al-Tilal, and the Police Club, before representing the national team at the age of 18.

He was the league’s top scorer for three consecutive seasons, led his teams to domestic championships, and represented South Yemen in Arab and international competitions.

Full Biography of the Late Captain

Date of birth: March 24, 1952, in Aden.

Occupation: Officer in the Aden Passport Department, holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Football nickname: “The Fox of the Football Fields” — one of the most prominent stars of Southern Yemeni football during its golden era.

Playing Career

He began his football career in 1969 with Al-Shabab Sports Club (Crater, Aden), where he played for four years. He scored his first goal in his very first match, against Kawkab Al-Shihr in Mukalla.

He later moved between some of Aden’s most prestigious clubs: Al-Ahli, Al-Tilal, and the Police Club, continuing his career until his retirement in 1987.

He played for the senior national team at the age of 18 in 1972, making him one of the youngest players to participate in the Arab Games at the time.

His first international match was against the visiting Chinese national team in Aden in 1972.

One of his best performances with the national team came against the Ethiopian national team in Addis Ababa in 1981.

International and Foreign Competitions

He participated with Al-Shabab in a tour of Cairo, Egypt, in 1970.

His first overseas appearance with the national team was in Algeria in 1972, under the leadership of Captain Azzam Khalifa.

He participated twice in the Palestine Cup, held in Libya in 1973 and Tunisia in 1975.

Domestic Achievements

Top scorer of the General League for three consecutive seasons:

1978–1979

1979–1980

1980–1981

Won the league championship with the Police Club in the 1983–1984 and 1984–1985 seasons.

Won the September 26 Cup with Al-Shabab in 1970.

Won the Nasser Cup with Al-Shabab in the 1970–1971 season.

Won the Woman’s Shield Championship (Tars Al-Mar’a) with Al-Ahli in 1975.

Won the Republic Cup with Al-Tilal in 1979.

Administrative Career

Served as Deputy Chairman of the Police Sports Federation.

Coaching Career

Police Club: 1990–1992

Al-Tilal Club: 1993

Ittifaq Al-Hawtah, Sayun: 1995

Jeel Abyan: 2000

Al-Rawda Club, Aden: 2006

For two decades, he carried the banner of Southern Yemeni football. He combined talent with leadership and became a historic goal scorer and one of the game's enduring players. After his playing career, he continued to serve football as a coach and administrator, remaining active behind the scenes of the sport.

May Allah shower him with His vast mercy, grant him a place in His spacious Paradise, and give his family and loved ones patience and strength.

Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.

The biographical information about the deceased was provided by journalist Hassan Qasim and Mr. Mahmoud Obaid.

International project Mapping every genuinely-online service in all 45 Asian countries - need locals' help (real payout, not just "exposure")

Upvotes

We're building a directory of online services (delivery, banking, e-visas, telecom, anything a tourist, expat, or local can genuinely do start-to-finish online, no branch visit required) across all 45 countries in Asia.

The hard part: no single team can know what's actually good in 45 countries. So we're asking the people who'd know best - you, if you live in one of them.

if there's an online service in your country that's genuinely useful (not just "an app that exists," but one that works well and can be used fully online), drop the name in the comments, or DM if you'd rather not post it publicly. Unfortunately, at the moment we were only able to find 3 online services.
