Five years after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, her nation is riven by war


Yemeni activist Tawakkol Karman, center, shared the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize with Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee, left, and Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. She was awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize — the first Arab woman to receive the honor — in recognition of her work. It's been five years since Yemen's revolution. When you received the Nobel Peace Prize, how did you think it would affect Yemen and its people? I do believe that Nobel Peace Prize and our peaceful revolution, our dreams for freedom, democracy and social welfare, will bring good to our country, and will lead us to countries that have achieved such values.
