HI Walid,<br>
<br>
I shared your note on Facebook and Linked in to all. I really hope
all is resolved quickly and that all your family, others in ISOC
Yemen and others whom I have met at ICANN from Yemen are well<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

Dear friends and colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Those of you who followed the news lately
may have heard about the intensifying
conflict in Yemen, which has led to the
blocking of of many news and dissident
websites. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's a story reflecting some of what
happened:</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.albawaba.com/news/anti-houthi-websites-blocked-yemen-674404"
target="_blank">http://www.albawaba.com/news/anti-houthi-websites-blocked-yemen-674404</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is unprecedented and unacceptable.
It obliged us as ISOC-Yemen to formally
launch a campaign starting with the below
statement (both in English and Arabic),
which is to be widely circulated and
published on our Facebook page here:</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.facebook.com/isoc.ye/photos/a.366179743512967.1073741827.183351058462504/641852185945720/"
target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/isoc.ye/photos/a.366179743512967.1073741827.183351058462504/641852185945720/</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd appreciate your support by sharing,
liking, commenting or take any other actions
you can to help our campaign. You can also
re-publish the text freely on your
platforms.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our intention is to stress that Internet
access should not tampered with by those
involved in the conflict because it severely
affects the confidence of end-users in the
Internet as a whole and their ability to use
it effectively.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance for your support during
those very difficult times in Yemen.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div><br>

<div>Chair, ISOC-Yemen</div>
