The Yemen Post website faced technical issues caused by hackers in 2015. It was then blocked by authorities in Yemen in 2017 for its reporting. The newspaper editor in chief received threats numerous times for the newspapers coverage and when options were limited to remain independent, he preferred to stop publishing until the media landscape improves in Yemen. When its website was blocked, it relocated to Twitter and its account was last active in 2019. [2]
