VOICED: Yemeni youth use social media for change

Protesters in Yemen demand the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh after 32 years in power. They increasingly rely on new media, particularly Facebook, to share videos and photos of their protests, inspired by the success of social media in Egypt and Tunisia. Activists like Abraham and Her Mood use social media to disseminate information quickly, believing it to be more truthful than traditional media. Despite limited internet access, those who can connect are committed to using it as a tool for change, hoping to eventually topple the regime.
