Hosni Mubarak: the rise and fall of the Egyptian dictator

Video        The Guardian        25 February 2020

Hosni Mubarak,

Egypt’s autocratic former president

who ruled with an iron fist for three decades

before being toppled during the Arab spring protests in 2011,

has died aged 91.

We look back at the life and legacy

of one of Egypt's most notorious leaders,

and the corruption, incompetence and human rights violations

that took place under his rule

If It Were My Home

The headlines tell a lot

about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations

of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

But you may have

one very basic question

that you can't easily find

an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
