Can I receive money from friend when I'm in Yemen?
because I singed up when I got an email than I received funds from my friend but after singed up I got an email that the funds was cancelled.
I asked my friend to send me again but he could not ,because paypal say that my account can not receive funds , Can I know Why??

Also my I tried to send to my friend account , I got same message that I can't send to his account "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." ? Is than because we located in Yemen ? Is it restricted to receive money if we located in Yemen? 
if there is any settings that I have to do before starting receiving money please let me know

The option to 'receive' paypal payments is sadly not available in Yemen.
You can only 'send' payments for purchases.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.
