China pulse 🇨🇳(@Eng_china5):In Sanaa, Yemen, the widespread presence of guns is not simply a cultural tradition. Decades of war have pushed weapons deep into everyday life, making them increasingly visible in markets, streets and even around children. A merchant openly carrying multiple pistols while conducting business captures how prolonged conflict can normalize the presence of firearms in civilian life. For many Yemenis, especially younger generations, growing up surrounded by war and weapons has made guns part of the environment they know from childhood.
