What do Yemenis need from the London Conference?

The expected conference on Yemen which is scheduled to be held on January 28th on London should convince Yemenis that they can live as peaceful and civilized nation in the world. It should also support essential daily aspects related to the marginalized, poor and oppressed Yemenis living in Yemen and regarding to the bad economic and terrorist situations. In my opinion, Yemenis do not need for cash or money in donated to officials directly, they instead need for concrete investment and tangible development. Money or we can say millions of U.S. dollars or euros or even pounds will go directly to big drain of corruption in Yemen represented by the punched pockets of wicked officials and greedy traders. This Yemeni nation needs a real investment implemented by huge factories which gather thousands of unemployed females and males, verdant farms full of farmers which plant vegetables and fruits instead of evil qat plant, qualified and fair businessmen and businesswomen who trade in legal products produced and marketed inside and outside Yemen instead of smuggling expired foods and drugs. This nation also needs well-educated Yemenis who know and respect their rich history, land and heritage and who tolerate, welcome and cohabit moderately with religious men and multinational tourists.

 AS a foreigner who live in Yemen for more than a decade, I do feel that Yemen people need to be supported and picked up from its imperfect economic, social, cultural and other related situations by others who want to guarantee that they will reject the harm of drastic people belong to Yemen. I hope as a foreigner who like Yemen and Yemeni nation that the next conference will be either a useless international event like many other conferences held on Yemen and failed or a starting point in the miry political and economic situations passing in Yemen, the country of ignorant and forgotten people.
