| Suffering of Black-Skinned Continues in Yemen |
| 2012-11-06 |
| [Yemen Post] A fire broke out at the residential area of the marginalized people, the black-skinned class, in Yemen's southern province of Taiz injuring two people and ravaging a number of their houses made of tinplate and polyester fabric. Local sources in Taiz said a man and a woman were maimed in the fire but not seriously. Many marginalized people live in the Oseifra district, Taiz, where they have started to suffer such problems in recent years. In the past few years, a number of marginalized people were killed and many houses ravaged in fires that usually are blamed on electric problems or mistakes by the people themselves. The problem continues and adds to the suffering of the marginalized in Yemen, who struggle to enjoy the simplest rights like other classes. The marginalized here don't exercise good jobs and most of them are hired by the government to sweep the streets for about one hundred dollars a month. This stratum in the Yemeni society suffers the highest rates of unemployment, poverty, illiteracy and school dropout, spread of diseases and disrespect of other classes. The authorities don't help the marginalized as they should and this deepens their suffering in one of the poorest countries in the world. |
