Aden and the Gulf: the reflections of a political officer / Day, Stephen

Day, Stephen	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

The author vividly records his impressions of life in the Western Aden Protectorate in the 1960s during the years leading up to the independence of the territory in 1967. As a political officer advising various Arab tribal leaders he describes how his responsibilities could range far wider than the provisions of the Advisory Treaties, and he offers personal conclusions about the collapse of British and Arab authority resulting, in his view, from a misguided attempt to turn tribal sheikhs into a coalition of Indian rulers, creating the shaky structure of a Federal government that collapsed in the face of rag-tag opposition from nationalist activists.

Summary/Abstract

Since the summer of 2007, Yemen's southern provinces have witnessed widespread peaceful protest against the government in Sana'a. In order to understand the significance of this opposition movement, it is necessary to look back to unresolved political issues at the time of Yemen's unification in 1990. Events today reveal lingering problems with Yemen's unity arrangement - problems which first surfaced in political conflict leading to a brief civil war in 1994. Leaders of today's non-violent protests are successfully increasing political pressures which may soon lead to a change in Yemen's government.
