Today's guest speaker, Atifa Alwazir will discuss 
What’s Happening in Yemen? History, People, and the Geopolitics of War.
Atiaf Alwazir 
is an educator and creative writer who believes deeply in the power of education and storytelling to liberate and shape futures. Her action-oriented research, focusing on Yemen, explores social movements, militarism in the digital age, and the intersection between art and politics. Atiaf was the Head of the Peace Program at the Quaker Council for European Affairs (QCEA), where she focused on demilitarizing education. In 2020, Atiaf gave a TEDx talk at UC Berkeley titled "The Other Side of Yemen's War," challenging the singular narratives that dominate discussions on Yemen and reframing orientalist media portrayals. By uplifting personal stories of Yemenis, Atiaf advocates for a more nuanced understanding of the country. In 2011, Atiaf documented the Yemeni uprising, co-founded SupportYemen, a storytelling collective amplifying underrepresented voices, and co-authored Change Square, a photo book capturing the spirit of Yemen’s revolution.

生长在海边的果果

The Capitol building needs to make an appointment to buy tickets in advance to visit. Arrive on time according to the requirements. There are many people. Be sure to have an advance amount to not affect the itinerary. You can make an appointment for a Chinese tour in advance. Although it is a Chinese tour, it is also a foreigner tour guide who speaks English and uses a translator to translate it into Chinese to play it for us. It is very interesting. The interior of the Capitol is also very good from the perspective of the building itself. You must explain it when you go in and visit.

National Mall

The National Mall is a must-check-in place for Washington tourism. One is the Lincoln Memorial and the other is the Washington Monument. There is a pool of water between them and green spaces on both sides. There are monuments such as the Victory Memorial of World War II, the Vietnam War and other monuments, and the Jefferson Memorial. The beautiful cherry blossoms of the annual Washington Cherry Blossom Festival are also in full bloom around this area. We arrived in Washington at the end of April. It is a pity that the cherry blossoms have been lost and have not left a trace. I can only imagine that the scene of blooming must be beautiful.

The White House

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 22, 2017.

I heard that the White House has not been open to the public since 9/11. When we went there, we could only watch it from a distance outside the fence, so the White House became a boring landmark. We took a tourist check-in photo to end our visit.

There is a big pine tree on the south side of the White House. I didn&rsquo;t expect it to be a &quot;landmark&quot; as well, the &quot;National Christmas Tree&quot;... Well, it seems that we should choose to visit during Christmas.

Lincoln Memorial

Night view

_We***42

[Value for money] It is open 24 hours a day and is free. Although we went there at 6 o&#39;clock, it gets dark early in winter. But the momentum is still there.

But why do I feel that the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei is so similar to the Lincoln Memorial!

[Scenery] It is magnificent! Facing the Washington Monument! At this moment, I suddenly remembered Chairman Mao&#39;s poem &quot;The country is so beautiful, attracting countless heroes to compete for it!

Washington Monument

铨上风满楼

Washington DC monument is one of the landmark buildings in Washington DC... It was built to commemorate the first president of the United States, George Washington. This stone monument was once the tallest building in the world... Today, it is still the tallest stone obelisk in the world...
