WHAT DID YOU LEAVE BEHIND? THE CIVIL WAR IN YEMEN

The civil war in Yemen is one of the most tragic and silenced armed conflicts of modern times. The book "What Did You Leave Behind?" is a moving report that gives voice to the victims of this conflict, showing their suffering and dramatic fates. It is a read that forces reflection on the scale of human tragedy and helplessness in the face of the cruelty of war.

• Shocking testimonies of victims of the civil war in Yemen
• Dramatic picture of being stuck in the clutches of conflict
• Accusation of the international community for complicity in the tragedy
• Accounts of victims of the Houthi militias and the coalition led by Saudi Arabia
• Over 400 testimonies collected by Buszra al-Maktari
• Chronicle of the conflict reminding of the scale of human tragedy
• Inspiration by reports by Svetlana Alexievich

Inspired by the reports of Svetlana Alexievich, Buszra al-Maktari traveled through Yemen for two years at the risk of her life to collect over 400 testimonies from civilians affected by the war. Her work is not only a documentation of suffering, but also an attempt to understand the causes and consequences of this conflict. This book is the voice of those who have been deprived of everything, and their stories deserve to be heard.

Al-Maktari's report interweaves accounts of victims of the Houthi militias and the coalition led by Saudi Arabia, showing a dramatic picture of being stuck in the clutches of a war for which they are not responsible and over which they have no influence. It is a chronicle of the conflict that reminds of the scale of the human tragedy hidden behind the headlines and is also an accusation of the international community for complicity. For a decade, world and regional powers have done nothing to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people.

"What Did You Leave Behind?" is a book that touches the deepest emotions and forces reflection on the condition of humanity in the face of war. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the modern world and its problems. It is also an appeal for solidarity with the victims of armed conflicts and for taking action for peace and justice.
