CBS News Terry McCarthy reports from the city of Sana'a, whose history dates back to biblical times and is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world.
I visited Sanna old city in September 2010 and left my heart there. The most beautiful place in the world is Sanaa. I love my homeland. From the United Kingdom
I lived and worked in Yemen mainly Sana'a for 7 years in the early 1980's. Best years of my professional life. Very humble and down to earth people to deal with.
@@irdsqrgitro I use to be from Iran but just because I was sick and tired to have government who do not care about even there own people in iran I move to England but shame on iranian government or any other government if they want to destroy such beautiful busy and simple heart people like yaman,I love old city I love history of people who living in the city like sanna and I hope God save them from all problems and bad countries around them and let people in yaman have a peaceful life,thanks for your information 👏👏🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹
@@natwyvern7351 No problem, I also feel the same for many humble decent Iranian people who just want to have live a good live with harmony with others, unlike faqih system and Khomeini regime who calls for Shia supremacy and imperialisms and even hatred toward non-Shia
Does the city exist in same way in 2020 also under Houthi? Have the buildings been destroyed now? Have the life styles of the people changed now ? Please clarify. thanks.
not really not a lot have change yea some building got destroyed from Saudi Arabia airplanes but there is still a lot of building that still good and the building that got destroyed could get fixed if the war end but Yemen is really poor now
Hi, David. I remember spending time with you and your friend Matthaw,,, at that house . Your Arabic is much better now. How is Matthaw by the way? Good luck... Bassam , New York
it's been 8 years since the war started and it doesn't seem like anything have change I think it might take long long time until it end I won't be surprised if the war last for at least 30-40 years
@@jouali8847 no that is not true just because there is Houthies doesn't mean there is Shia just stop trying to let the north look bad it's always people from the south do that
Stephen - most of SAN'A are shia i can say that the demographics is like 70% shia most of sunni like immigrants from the other provinces of yemen because it's the capital of yemen
To (reviewed popcorn) Sad man talking.. 😂 you don't know shit about noting you just judge because you believe what you see and hear on you stupid TV about Islam. But Islam is not a culture is a beautiful religion some bad pepole make it seem so extreme full of hate 😕 I am Yemeni I grow up in Yemen We as girls and woman have freedom in Yemen we go to school play outside we work we shop is not like in Afghanistan. You should go and travel in Muslim country's and learn and see and meet pepole the world is not your TV or phone my fraind I feel sad for you I hope you will get better soon 😜💋💪❤
Shut up bitch there is no one thing called western all have different culture you mean America they called themselves as west and Europe not even special place and it's not similar
maybe if west stop being in middle east then the immigration stops, or could think came to here and start a war or poverty will not make any immigration
We are not happy to leave our countries but please ask your GOVT stop selling arm weapons to bad regimes and group of terror . We were in peace until Europe started selling this bad weapons to killing us . We love u and we never disturb u.we never came by our troops attacking your cities or making influences to your GOVT . 😍😍😍greeting from Yemen
food for thought - If islam is so bad to women why are there women converting to islam? why are the already muslim women not converting from islam to another religeon if its so bad? for your benefit go get some knowledge and try finding out what it is ur talking about
I visited Sanaa in 2007 once with my family but couldn’t see anything, I slept all the way in the car and can’t remember anything 🥲 I spent the whole trip crying and scared coming from Dubai. I regret it to this day.

Is Yemen costly
I lived in sanaa not the old city but I was there as a kid! I’m now 29!:(
My Grandmother fled from Somalia to Yemen in the late 1980s and she said she was treated really well in Sana'a.

I lived in Yemen, Sanaa as a kid!!! I was there for 2 years. Im now 29. I have such great memories of being there. Wish I could go back in time
THank YOU CBS and Mr. David for your concern about Yemen..

When it was Sana'a 💔
Thank u so much for this amazing documentary..just showed the real life of yemeni people and how a person feels welcomed out there
Beautiful city, sad it had to go to waste...
Thanks to the NATO, Iran and Saudi, Emerati Alliance to destroy a civilization that is older and greater than them all

Fascinating. Mashallah
@mohammedabdulrakib
me too i visited sanaa in June 2010 , it was the most beautiful trip of my whole life
From UAE
Well articulated documentary..
I guarantee you that American guy no longer lives in Yemen. He probably fled when the conflict started in 2015.
I HOPE THESE PLACES KEEP THIS OLD CULTURE.IT WILL IF IT CAN KEEP THE WESTERN INFLUENCE OUT.
Wow nice.. I feel the mystery of the old city..
Does the city exist in same way in 2020 also under Houthi? Have the buildings been destroyed now? Have the life styles of the people changed now ? Please clarify. thanks.

yh sana'a beautiful city in whole world i like this city
To this day, not going due to a schedule change has upset me til this day. I hope I can visit someday.
There is a familiar saying: If you want to visit history, go to Yemen, because of its historical diversity.
Incredible land!
Damn, beautiful city.
I missed my Country

Is Yemen mostly Shia or Sunni or is it half and half like the country?
south of Yemen most of them Sunni
north of Yemen most of them shia ( Zaydi )
All Muslims no differents
@@jouali8847 no that is not true just because there is Houthies doesn't mean there is Shia just stop trying to let the north look bad it's always people from the south do that
Yemen is 52% Sunni, 48% is Shia.
No shia and no sini in Yemen
هذي اليمن اصل العروبه قلبي
Sana'a
Is sanaa safe to visit today?
It is for the most part the only problem is the situation could change very quick but I had family go there a couple months ago and come back.
تم بد مشر وع ترميم الجامع الكبير عام 2006 حتى اﻻن 20017 لم يستكملو الترميم ﻻن الفاسدين طغو على هذ المشروع
wow he is eating by his fingers :)
Sorry I meant is Sanaa Predominantly Shia or Sunni, I knew the country is half and half but I wondered what the demographics for the city are
Stephen Wright sunni
Stephen - most of SAN'A are shia
i can say that the demographics is like 70% shia
most of sunni like immigrants from the other provinces of yemen because it's the capital of yemen

"We could be walking down this same street a thousand years ago" he says, walking alongside a line of parked cars.
Gimme a break.
Please save your culture from Western influence, and may we save our own culture from the huge Muslim immigration to Europe. Respect all cultures.
InvisibleOverwatcher no were not like that. Any one is welcome in yemen.
