    و انا اتسكع في النات مرتحلا بين شوارع قوقل ماب و ويكيبديا في شرق جنوب اسيا
    و بعدما اخذت جرعتي من الفضول فيما يخص بلد سنغافورة الصغير المتاخم لدولة ماليزيا
    اخذني فضولي الى الغرب مرورا بالهند و باكستان ثم وصولا الى عمان و اليمن فالصومال
    فاذا بي المح جزيرة صغيرة مهجورة " سُقُطْرَى‎‎
    اخذني الفضول مباشرة الى ويكيبديا فذا بي اتفاجئ ان الجزيرة تابعة لليمن
    لاحول وجهتي الى العملاق يوتيوب فدخلت على عدة مقاطع قبل ان اصل الى هذا المقطع الرائع
    فعلا جزيرة رائعة..اتمنى زيارتها يوما ما

      @@MEMO-ys4ph may be Socotra but not Yemen:
      This are the raccomandetions for Yemen by the Government Of Switzerland:
      Summary assessment
      Travel to Yemen as well as stays of any kind is not recommended.
      Swiss citizens who remain in the country or who travel in Yemen, despite the recommendation of the FDFA, must be aware that Switzerland will be unable to provide virtually any services and will have no chance of providing assistance during emergencies.
      The country is unstable and marked by armed conflicts. There are considerable security risks. Further developments are not predictable.
      In different parts of the country and in the capital there are fighting between government troops (supported by a foreign coalition) and several rebel groups. Airstrikes regularly occur that target different targets. Mines are placed in the country and in the waters along the coast. This conflict causes thousands of civilian victims. From time to time blocks are imposed that affect all land, air and sea connections.
      The number of seizures and kidnapping attempts is high; the risk is present throughout the territory. The kidnappers are members of tribes, terrorist groups or gangs of criminals. The victims are indigenous, foreign tourists, language students as well as humanitarian aid workers and employees of foreign companies. Examples:
      in June 2018 a French citizen was kidnapped in Hodeida;
      in September 2017 an American citizen was kidnapped in Sana'a;
      at the end of March 2017 several foreign collaborators of a humanitarian organization were seized;
      in September 2016 an American and an Australian citizen were seized in Sana'a;
      in March 2016 several people were killed during an attack on a humanitarian organization in Aden and an Indian collaborator was kidnapped;
      in December 2015 a Greek businessman was kidnapped in Aden;
      in May 2015 an American journalist was kidnapped in Sana'a;
      in February 2015 a French citizen was kidnapped in Sana'a;
      Throughout the country there is a high risk of terrorist attacks against local and foreign people and institutions, including humanitarian organizations. The attacks regularly cause victims and wounded, as in April 2018, when a collaborator of the International Committee of the Red Cross was killed in Taiz.
      Also pay attention to the rubric
      Terrorism and kidnapping
      Violent clashes between demonstrators and security forces may occur during demonstrations.
      Piracy attacks have repeatedly occurred in the Indian Ocean and Yemen waters, particularly in the Gulf of Aden. Pay attention to specific information:
      Maritime piracy
