These files should not in any circumstances be deleted, as they will be used in future articles treating on individual topics of note. Perhaps those who suggested they should be deleted have no knowledge in Jewish culture and/or history.Davidbena (talk) 23:20, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Sana'a University

Unfortunately I've no official precise information yet but indeed there was no transfer from old to new university but rather an expansion was made in the new location due to the restrictions of the small zone allocated for old university. Old university was only for few colleges (Sciences, Literature mainly, as well as education, religion and law colleges that were later moved to the new location), and then new colleges such as commerce and economy colleges were initiated at the new location (that was later named as New University) around 1975 and then followed by additional faculties in engineering, medicine, agriculture, languages, and information. So you may consider 1975 as an approximate date for the new university while 1970 as the approximate date of old university which is still accommodating faculties of sciences and literature.

If you are interested about the dates, I will try to get information from the university administration, but not so sure if I can get such support, especially after the escalated unstable events ongoing around Yemen.

Note: I'm almost no longer using my old username, email4mobile, but this new one.--Almuhammedi (talk) 17:08, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, Almuhammedi. Your reply was very helpful. I was curious because I once lived in Sana'a. - Davidbena (talk) 16:27, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
