Read Yemen Portal
For local news from Yemen, go to Yemen Portal, a Yemen news aggregator. Then click on the left sidebar’s “English translated pages” for the Arabic news translated, then on that right sidebar “page blocked sites” for the content of some of the websites the Yemeni government is censoring, handily google translated. That’s where the interesting stuff often is. The Portal even distinguishes between the government media and the independent and opposition, to give some important context on each story. In Yemen, there are some independent papers and websites, but traditionally each political party has its own news papers which advance the party line. The government’s media brings Stalinist propaganda tactics to a new level.
