Ramadan, then and now

Ramadan once meant laughter-filled streets, shared meals, and long evenings with friends in the city of Aden. Today, it unfolds under the weight of crisis, poverty, and uncertainty. In “Ramadan, Then and Now,” Yemeni writer Mohammed Al-Mekhlafi traces the distance between memory and present reality—between the warmth of past Ramadan nights and the harsh struggles visible in Yemen today. A moving reflection on nostalgia, loss, and the fragile persistence of hope.
