      ab: The article discusses the author's experience running the "Yemen Times" newspaper after his father Professor Abdulaziz Al-Saqqaf died in 1999, focusing on the author's efforts to aid the activists in the 2011 Egyptian revolution by bypassing censorship in the use of online social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. Topics include the author's creation of a Yemeni news aggregation website called Yemen Portal, the government censorship of the website, and the author's development of software called Alkasir, Arabic for "the circumventor," and its use in the 2011 overthrow of Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Also discussed is the stepping down of Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh, in part due to the internet coverage of the 2011 Yemeni uprising.
