Sanaa (Yemen), Jan 27 (EFE / EPA), (Camera: Yahya Arhab).- A decade ago, Yemenis joined the so-called Arab Spring to end the regime of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. However, after several years of an erratic transition, the country was dragged into open war in 2015. On January 27, 2011, thousands of Yemenis took to the streets of Sana'a and gathered at the university, which would become the epicentre of the uprising against Saleh, who had been in power for 33 years.

People know me for« the cage of January 14 (2011)". We started our movement before the 14th, together with some lawyers and civil society activists with the hope to improve things, a fairer life, to improve my life. I was pretty sure that if I had slogans printed with me that day, that I would not reach Habib Bourguiba avenue, so that's why the idea of the cage and I said to myself even if the police were going to arrest me, I would just tell them I was going to the bird market, I wanted it to be a powerful symbol to show to world. I will celebrate the revolution only when the youth stops taking boats [to reach Europe], when things in Tunisia become better, when corruption ends, when we will have clean politicians, no joblessness, no thieves, no parliamentarian fights over absurd matters, we got freedom, but we want more."-RACHED ARBI (30):"I was shot when I was 20 when the protests reached the capital Tunis. I was excited by the revolution and started to write slogans. I was shot on the 13th of January 2011. A bullet on my chest (he shows the picture when he was shot). They took me to the hospitals and now I am half-paralyzed, on a wheelchair. Since that time I am suffering, I am tired and I hope we will get our rights back. I still hope my country will be better and restored in a fair state that respects the oppressed. Ten years after the revolution, we are still marginalized, our rights are lost, this is our 20th day of the sit-in, and we are totally ignored by the Tunisian state."
