Moment of Truth for Yemen 3 INTRODUCTION “The shooting started from different buildingsaround the same time and continued for morethan 30 minutes.” An eyewitness describing to Amnesty International an attack on a protest camp in Sana'a on 18 March 2011 which reportedly left52 people dead. The first few months of 2011 have seen a rapid deterioration in the human rights situation inYemen.

Situation of Akhdam in Yemen -

Excerpt

98% of Akhdam children enrolled in school never reach 3rd grade in secondary school. In basiceducation the percentage of school dropouts among Akhdam children is 87%. These alarminglyhigh numbers result from various factors. Firstly, for many Akhdam families education does notrank highest on the priority list, as the primary concerns of these families are basics such as water,electricity and employment. Secondly, due to the poor economic situation of Akhdam familiesmany children are begging or working instead of attending school in order to contribute to the family income. Thirdly, Akhdam families often live in remote areas of the cities areas that werenot meant for dwelling in the first place. This means that the distance to government schools can be extremely long. Finally, Akhdam children that do attend school experience extensive discriminationfrom the side of both teachers and other students
