Yemeni Editorial
My favorite Editor:
Arabs in exile in the USA, Europe, Australia, and in other modern countries, have proven to be productive, healthy, educated, and superior in their positions. In fact, they are, in many cases, much better off than the original citizens of the state they live in. Why didn’t Arabs in their homeland become as creative and enlightened? Why do our generations keep on striving to make ends meet while their brothers living abroad are progressing and contributing to science, education, and technology, and hence are contributing positively to the countries they stay in?It all comes down to ‘freedom’, this magical word, is the one that would solve all our problems and miseries. Freedom which empowers humans with dignity is what we need the most.
Our human rights, which we have been stripped of since early childhood, need to be restored. Our spirits and minds, which have been shackled for decades, need to be liberated. We must regain the title of ‘free humans’, which we have been deprived of for a very long time.
How can a nation progress and excel if its individuals have their minds caged and thoughts censored? How can a person be inventive if he is warned that anything that crosses his/her mind which violates the regime’s laws and ideas is strictly prohibited? How can a person begin changing society if he himself cannot change due to the excessive restrictions he is exposed to every single day?All questions bring us to one conclusion: enslaved humans can never make strong nations. Enchained minds and souls cannot fly into the world of prosperity and create a life that deserves to be lived.
