It starts with writing it down: The art of the pros and cons list
There’s a reason why so many people swear by journaling. As we experience emotionally challenging moments in our lives, we need to find an appropriate coping mechanism. However, while the art of journaling is a practice that people uplift and admire, the art of the pros and cons list tends to be met with controversy. When it comes to deciding things as emotionally charged as whether or not to stay with someone we’re seeing, many see a pros and cons list as eerily simple.
The Kingpin of Sana’a – A Profile of Ahmed Hamed | Sana'a Center For Strategic Studies
In early February, Mahdi Al-Mashat, the youthful 35-year-old Houthi president, called a private meeting of senior government officials in Sana’a. Al-Mashat, who became head of the Houthi-run Supreme Political Council in April 2018, wanted to dispel a rumor that had been gaining traction in recent months. Some on social media and in qat chews around the city were suggesting Al-Mashat was little more than a figurehead.
Foreign Actors in Yemen: The History, the Politics and the Future
Executive Summary Foreign actors have a long history in Yemen. From the first Zaidi imam who arrived in the country in the ninth century to the regional military intervention led by Saudi Arabia in 2015, outsiders have often altered the trajectory of domestic politics in Yemen.

UN Experts Detail Abuses in Yemen; Security Council Shrugs
From the beginning of the Yemen conflict in 2015, the United Nations Security Council has been quick to condemn the armed Houthi movement. Initially, at least, this made sense. The Houthis are a non-state actor that seized power in a coup. The Yemeni government, led by President Abdo Rabbu Mansour Hadi, is a member of the UN – in bureaucratic parlance a “Member State” – the Houthis are not, and it is always easier for the Security Council to condemn outside actors than member states.
It’s Time to Stop Talking About Terrorists As If They’re Diabolical Geniuses
But if the intelligence is correct, if this time Asiri really is dead, what does it mean for al-Qaeda and the threat it poses to America? Will the loss of Asiri degrade al-Qaeda’s capabilities? Are we safer now in the sky than we were last year? In other words, was Ibrahim al-Asiri truly as clever as we have been led to believe, a man the former acting director of the CIA called “the most sophisticated terrorist bomb maker on the planet”?
