Memoirs of a Soldier in the Yemeni Armed Forces

About this book

In the land of Yemen, where tales interweave with the sounds of bullets, a young soldier narrates his journey from the battlefield to the paths of spirituality. This book is not just military memoirs, but the cry of a Yemeni heart that witnessed betrayal and tasted the bitterness of loss. It is the story of a person who believed in his homeland and joined the army's ranks to face Al-Qaeda, which killed innocents in a horrific attack on the Ministry of Defense complex. That horrific incident on Bloody Thursday in 2013, which claimed the lives of dozens of doctors and nurses, was the spark that ignited the call of duty in his heart. But soon the battlefield turned into another test, where he discovered that his new allies, the Houthis, did not differ much from his enemies. They betrayed him and his tribe's sons, exploiting their love for the homeland, and spread terror and destruction. This book tells the story of a deep transformation: from a soldier carrying a weapon for revenge to a human being searching for inner peace.
