Current Situation of Yemeni Coffee : the Agricultural Area Currently
Current situation of Yemeni coffee : The agricultural area currently allocated to coffee in Yemen is estimated at 34,497 hectares, and approximately one million people work in this field from its cultivation to its export. Yemen's production of coffee during the past few years reached 19 thousand Metric Tons. Yemeni coffee grows mainly at an altitude between 1000 to 2400 meters above sea level. It is grown in valleys sloped down the western, central, southern highlands and mountainous terrace and especially in the mountain chains which overlook Tehama plain. The crop density of the area where coffee grows is between 900 to 1000 trees per hectare. The production per hectare is between 300 to 600 kilograms. These areas represent 40 % of the area of plantation in the country. Warm and wet climate along with the availability of sufficient water is the best environment for coffee plantation. Yemenis have realized that the best types of coffee are planted in this environment. They discovered that this environment is found only in the most difficult agricultural areas in Yemen. This environment is very difficult to be used for agriculture purposes because it is highly risky. However, the Yemeni farmer is very creative because he has the ability to use these lands by constructing the open terraces at an altitude of 2400 meters . Fields of coffee look like hanging gardens. The Yemeni farmer is able to secure an appropriate environment to grow coffee plants. He uses very skilled methods to take care of the soil especially when he cares the coffee seedlings. He makes a deep enough hole to put the seedling inside and cover it with a tight fence of stones. -

Saudi Arabia 2016 Human Rights Report
SAUDI ARABIA 2016 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a monarchy ruled by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who is both head of state and head of government. The government bases its legitimacy on its interpretation of sharia (Islamic law) and the 1992 Basic Law, which specifies that the rulers of the country shall be male descendants of the founder, King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud. The Basic Law sets out the system of governance, rights of citizens, and powers and duties of the government, and it provides that the Quran and Sunna (the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad) serve as the country’s constitution. In December 2015 the country held municipal elections on a nonparty basis for two-thirds of the 3,159 seats on the 284 municipal councils around the country. Independent polling station observers identified no significant irregularities with the election. For the first time, women were allowed to vote and run as candidates. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The most important human rights problems reported included citizens’ lack of the ability and legal means to choose their government; restrictions on universal rights, such as freedom of expression, including on the internet, and the freedoms of assembly, association, movement, and religion; and pervasive gender discrimination and lack of equal rights that affected most aspects of women’s lives. Other human rights problems reported included: a lack of judicial independence and transparency that manifested itself in denial of due process and arbitrary arrest and detention; a lack of equal rights for children and noncitizen workers; abuses of detainees; overcrowding in prisons and detention centers; investigating, detaining, prosecuting, and sentencing lawyers, human rights activists, and antigovernment reformists; holding political prisoners; arbitrary interference with privacy, home, and correspondence; and a lack of equal rights for children and noncitizen workers. -

In this connection, I would like to bring to the attention of your Excellency’s Government information that I have received on a series of airstrikes by Government of Saudi Arabia-led coalition forces carried out since November 2017 in civilian areas in Yemen, including on protected civilian objects, that have caused numerous deaths and serious injuries to civilians, including children . On 9 November 2015, my mandate addressed a similar communication to your Excellency’s Government (AL SAU 9/2015) concerning indiscriminate airstrikes by coalition forces in civilian areas, which lead to deaths and injuries of civilians in Yemen. I regret that thus far no response has been received to that communication and would be grateful for your prompt response. The information which I have received in recent months, and which is indicative and non-exhaustive, highlights the impact of coalition-led attacks on civilians and civilian objects in Yemen over the period November 2017 to June 2018. The allegations may be summarized as follows: On 1 November 2017, two airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition hit the Al Layl market in the area of Olaf, in Sahaar district, Sa’adah province, killing 31 civilians, including six children, and wounding 24 others. On 2 November 2017, seven members of a farming family, including three children, were killed in a coalition airstrike on their home in Al Islan area in Baqim district, Sa’adah province. -
