Professor Mutahhar Ahmed Taqi, a prominent social and cultural figure, received a copy of the study "The Mutual Effects of Yemeni Migration" as part of a series of meetings aimed at introducing this scholarly project and expanding its reach within social, cultural, and intellectual circles.
Professor Salwa Muharram, representing the Al-Khair Foundation for Social Development, along with members of the publication committee, Professor Al-Azzi Al-Salawi, Advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, and Dr. Amr Ma'dikarib Al-Hamdani, a member of the Shura Council, presented the copy and explained the study's concept, its stages of preparation, and its key themes.
The publication team explained that the study seeks to preserve an important aspect of Yemeni history by documenting the journeys, experiences, and relationships of migrants with their host communities, and by highlighting the mutual social, cultural, and economic influences between Yemenis and those communities.
The meeting focused particularly on the human and social dimensions of migration, highlighting the familial, social, and cultural ties Yemenis have maintained with their homeland while abroad. It also addressed the experiences and expertise they have gained, which have positively impacted their local communities upon their return or through continued engagement.
The publishing team also reviewed the role of the late Professor Alwan Al-Shaibani in supporting this scholarly work through the Al-Khair Foundation for Development, the community arm of the Al-Alamiah Trading Group.
They emphasized that his interest in the project reflected his vision of social responsibility as a partnership in development, education, culture, and the preservation of history and collective memory.
Professor Mutahhar Ahmed Taqi expressed his gratitude for the gift of a copy of the study, praising its importance in documenting the history and experiences of Yemenis across the globe. He also commended the late Alwan Al-Shaibani's career and his significant economic, national, social, and cultural contributions, affirming that supporting knowledge and scholarly projects represents a vital legacy whose impact endures long after their passing.
The delivery of the study comes as part of a publicity program aimed at conveying this achievement to the largest segment of scientific, cultural and social figures and institutions, and encouraging people to read it and benefit from its material in studies and activities related to the history of Yemen and its migrations.
