The Yemen Peace ProjectThis was the scene in the city of Taiz earlier this week, as people came out to celebrate Eid al-Adha. Taiz has had it worse than any other city throughout the current war. There's still a total siege, & daily civilian casualties. But #Yemen's cultural capital lives. الحمد لله. https://twitter.com/NesmahMansoor/status/1032715160002195456
The huge throng of people you see are hanging out atop an ancient castle, Qasr al-Qahirah, that has been home to an artillery battery since 2015. During the 2011 revolution, too. Shells rained down on homes & schools from here. Seeing the people reclaim this space is the most beautiful thing I've seen since the war began. https://twitter.com/NesmahMansoor/status/1032715160002195456
