What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada explored the government-controlled central part of Yemen, noting the stark contrast between his luxury mud-brick hotel and the extreme poverty where 60% of the population survives on one dollar a day. He was particularly struck by the massive inflation that required him to carry a plastic bag full of cash after exchanging just $300. A major highlight was his visit to the jambia market, where he examined expensive vintage Russian rifles and observed the local social norm of open gun ownership.
