Family
in Sanaa tell me of how young Syrian women fill traffic points;
begging for money, and that there is a sheikh who marries off them to
Yemeni men with small dowry money. Similar cases in different hosting
neighbor Arab countries .. I remember seeing Iraqi women begging on
Sanaa's streets in the wake of the Gulf war, 1991. Really
heartbreaking! I wish as women have their share in the ordeal during
wars, I wish they also get the chance to be in the peace building
process. That relatively failed in Iraq, would it succeed in Syria,
later on?!
