As the outcome of the many revolutions occurring around the Arab world appear less certain, none seems to have a more potential for volatility than Yemen. With few natural resources and an impoverished population with tribal loyalties held together under the teetering rule of a president with no formal education, Yemen is on the verge of political and economic collapse.
This past March, I had the rare opportunity to photograph the events unfolding inside Yemen and document this uncertainty; the hope of the anti-government protesters, the well-funded presidential supporters, and the occasional violent encounters between the two groups.
