                                                    Definitely not! It is much

                                                    would think, because of the
                                                    high unemployment levels in
                                                    Yemen, 30%. In other words,
                                                    30 out of 100 Yemenis never

                                                    two out of every three Yeme-

                                                        Many people in the world
                                                    and in Yemen live below star-
                                                    vation level. The Yemeni state
                                                    needs foreign aid in order to
                                                    survive. The size of the
                                                    Yemeni economy in 2013 was

                                                    $39 billion, while its foreign
                                                    debt stood at $7.2 billion. This
                                                    is a huge ratio. Neither is it
                                                    enough for Yemen to find
                                                    such a huge total debt every
                                                    year, because the compound
                                                    interest on this aid increases
                                                    the outstanding debt all the
