Check Out al-Hurra Sunday 10 PM (Yemen Time)
Update: its on at 3:10 in New York, I forgot about daylight savings. I think I’ll add a Yemen clock to the blog.
The show is “Eye on Democracy ” on al-Hurra satellite TV at 22:10 Yemen time, which is as we all know 14:10 New York time.
The woman who will be on is Zainab Al-Suwaij, Executive Director of the American Islamic Congress, which sponsors HAMSA which is coordinating the letters campaign for al-Khaiwani, the American guy is Joel Campagna who heads the Committee to Protect Journalists Middle East program and the Yemeni guy is Munier al-Mawari, a Yemeni American journalist and analyst.
The crew came to my house to tape an interview, which I though was nice. You can watch it streaming here. Also al-Hurra re-plays the show through the week, schedule here.
Also this week’s issue of Rotana magazine has a nice article (I hear) about al-Khaiwani and me, entitled, “American Jane Novak, the most famous foreigner known in Yemen”. I can’t believe I’m anywhere in a celebrity magazine but apparently so.
I just wish I could read the Rotana article and/or understand what they are saying on al-Hurra. My Arabic studies are going very slowly. Its such a hard language. I wish I could get somebody to live-blog the show.
Oh and in October, the Ladies Home Journal, again somewhat incomprehensible to me. However al-Khaiwani is still in jail. I’m going to need a new plan if the “End of the Sa’ada War” machinations don’t include his release along with all the kids and thousands others arbitrarily arrested in relation to the war.
