"I just want people to know that the whole reason I came back after visiting Yemen the first time is that the people and the country itself totally charmed, welcomed and engaged me.
Sometimes it's hard living in a culture that isn't your own for an extended period, and my first reaction was to bitch (note to self: WRONG reaction!) and I didn't think to talk about all the things I love here, like Yemeni hospitality, the amount of interest citizens take in the political process, the great friends - foreign and Yemeni - I have made here and the amazing opportunity to work with a respected independent newspaper.
Not that it is an excuse (although it sure does sound like one, doesn't it?), but I was just answering questions in the same vein as they were asked to me."
"To all followers of Nojoud's story:Here is the reporter's follow-up story, complete with information about how to lobby Yemeni Parliament to change the laws about early marriage in the country."
