Back from the Future: a Yemeni Bride…………..
“Nujood Ali captured the world's attention in 2008 when she showed up in at a Sanaa courthouse demanding a divorce from her thirty-something husband, thrusting the 10-year-old into the spotlight as the face of child brides in Yemen……… Two years later, things are looking up for Nujood: the bestselling book she co-wrote with French journalist Delphine Minoui was this week released in English, and the royalties are paying for her family's new home and business, as well as private school for Nujood and her little sister, Haifa…….”
In the moderate New Middle East, the bulwark of (Western) civilization against the radical horde.
