In the face of successive corruption across governments... there are those who suffer bitterly from the interruption of their expenses in the country of exile, and there is a group that suffers both, as he paid between 2000 and 3000 dollars to officials in the Ministry of Higher Education in order to obtain a high-end scholarship, then he was surprised after his scholarship by the falsity of the dreams that the officials in the Ministry of Higher Education promoted to him, and this is what was indicated by the investigation of the newspaper \u201cYemen Press<\/a>In September 2014, the investigation revealed the random distribution of scholarships, their manipulation, and their failure to be distributed according to a legal mechanism. It also revealed that the deadlines of students with outstanding grades were extended for more than five years, and that 160 male and female students with low grades below 90% were sent on scholarships; 18 of them were between 79% and 60%, according to a document issued by the Central Organization for Control and Accounting in 2013. The efforts of the Yemeni Parliament to address this phenomenon were ineffective, despite its questioning of the ministry\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Annual expenditure on scholarships reached $100 million in 2013, then decreased to $52 million in 2017, as revealed in an investigation conducted by the Yemeni newspaper Al Mashad under the title \u201cForgotten Students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this suffering, some Yemeni students have been forced to work abroad to earn a living. Some of them have reached such a point, as one of the Yemeni students in Malaysia tried to set himself on fire, coinciding with a warning from a Malaysian university to expel 50 Yemeni students if they did not pay their tuition fees before August 24, 2017. This incident was one of the reasons that prompted the students to protest at the Yemeni embassy building in Malaysia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Returning to the history of protests, the first student protest was at their country's embassy in Algeria in late 2012. Yemeni embassies subsequently witnessed a wave of protests that continue to this day. It's worth noting that during one of the protests at the Yemeni embassy in Algeria, Algerian security forces were called in to disperse the students who had been holding a sit-in at the embassy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The same applies to the Yemeni embassies in Morocco, Russia, and Tunisia, where the embassies closed their doors to students and security forces were called in to disperse the sit-in. The Tunisian sit-in, which began in February 2017, ended with the dispersal on its fourth day after Tunisian security forces pledged to engage with the Yemeni embassy to reach possible solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n In Russia, the situation escalated with embassy staff being prevented from entering the building and the building being closed twice, the first time on 15\/12\/2016 and the second time on 3\/8\/2017, in response to the embassy's procrastination towards them, closing its doors for four months, and using Russian security against them. The sit-in lasted for more than 10 days, ending on 27\/4\/2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a phone call with Yemen Youth Channel, Radfan Almas, head of the Yemeni Students Association in Russia, commented on the situation, saying: \u201cStudents have been complaining about not receiving tuition fees since September 2016. Russian universities have given students until the end of April 2017, and they will be expelled if tuition fees are not paid.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n On August 3, 2017, Belqis TV reported that a sit-in took place in Poland, where students demanded that the Yemeni embassy pay all their dues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n In Morocco, Safwan Abu Hatem spoke on Yemen Youth Channel on August 17, 2017, saying: Yemeni students studying in Morocco announced the resumption of their sit-in in front of the embassy after a 70-day grace period at the embassy's request. Moroccan security forces were sent to break up the sit-in by Yemeni diplomat Ezz El-Din Al-Asbahi, who threatened them with deportation. The embassy was closed to the students and the ambassador did not respond to them. The sit-in has entered its third day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n In contrast, both the Jordanian and Malaysian embassies responded to the students' protests throughout 2017 and 2018. In Malaysia in 2018, Ambassador Bahumid sat with the students at the embassy, supporting their demands, but without any significant action other than a show of modesty in front of the students before Eid al-Fitr. An urgent advance of $300 was disbursed to a select number of more than 511 students on scholarship in Malaysia, and the Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Dr. Khalid Al-Wasabi, came on the eve of the protest to listen to their demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some students commented on Ambassador Bahumid's Facebook post, demanding that tuition fees be disbursed promptly before they are expelled from the university. Ahmed Al-Shaibani, a student at Limkokwing University, commented, saying, "Your Excellency, the Ambassador, we ask that you look into the issue of the Limko students. They are on the brink of expulsion from the university. These days there are exams, and Al-Dhaifani refuses to cooperate with us and return the discounts he granted to the students."<\/p>\n\n\n\n While student Saddam Hussein Saleh, a scholarship student at UPM University in Malaysia, comments, saying: \u201cI have been lying to my children since the beginning of Ramadan, and from day to day, and I say I have work to do, so I can avoid taking them to the clothing market to buy Eid clothes, while I had high hopes, after God Almighty, that the advance payment would reach my account. Unfortunately, the ambassador was able to offer something he could apologize for, but until now I cannot apologize to my children because they do not understand and do not know what an apology is. The problem is that I have become indebted to most of my colleagues and friends, and therefore I cannot ask for more debts, not to mention the landlord, and the nightmare of late rents, or the remaining fees for the children\u2019s school\u2026 God have mercy on us\u2026 I am now ready to send my account number to anyone privately so that they can deposit money in it\u2026 Happy Eid, Your Excellency the Ambassador\u2026 I will not disturb you and I will not hold a sit-in at the embassy so as not to distract you from your work\u2026 My sincere regards.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n In Jordan, Foreign Minister Dr. Al-Mikhlafi's visit and diplomats' meetings with students were an attempt to quell the anger, but to no avail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n But you'll find the situation is completely different at the Yemeni embassy in Egypt. The cultural attach\u00e9's office has been transformed into a reception hall during Ramadan for all the protesters, where they eat and shout, but no one listens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Contrary to the stereotype of students under government severance, there is another group of students who enjoy comfort, excellence, and regularity in their studies. These are students receiving scholarships supported by NGOs and foreign governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for civil society organizations, the most famous are: Aoun Foundation for Development<\/a>, andHadhramout Foundation for Human Development<\/a>, andCharitable Fund Foundation for Supporting Outstanding Students,<\/a> All three of these institutions were established by Saudi businessmen of Hadrami origin, who made Hadramout (eastern Yemen) the starting point for their activities in sending students abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The common ground between these three institutions is their mutual cooperation, and that they are based on a regulatory mechanism that begins from the moment a student applies for a scholarship, and ends with their graduation from university. This mechanism is based on the principle of motivation and warning, and there is no leniency in implementing the system, despite the fact that the number of universities and countries that support it is small, as it supports scholarships in (Saudi Arabia - Jordan - Turkey - Philippines - Egypt - Canada - America - France - Malaysia - India) and 20 other countries on an intermittent basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The number of students sent through the Charitable Fund between 2008 and 2015 (before the war) in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Jordan reached 1,287 students, distributed across more than 20 universities, while 1,022 students were distributed across 21 other countries since the foundation's inception in 1990 until 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scholarships sent abroad by these three organizations largely came to a halt with the outbreak of the war in Yemen in 2015. This was primarily to countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United States, while other countries continued to receive scholarships, such as France, Malaysia, Jordan, Turkey, and the Philippines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"9](\"https:\/\/acaprs.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/9-1.jpg\" "\\"9")
