Southern tribes are special 😄. With a "Return to Sender" note attached, Mahra, South Yemen tribal members brought a truck load of trash and dumped it in front of the local authority building, because the government has been dumping the trash in tribal land.

On Twitter you have a very deep bench of experts on most topics. Especially on Yemen, you have not only experts, but a substantial Arabic-speaking Yemeni community itself that includes most of the major participants in the Yemen conflict themselves. That's just not here.
