	Historical background
		Yemen is one of the oldest inhabited regions in the world and Yemeni tradition and folklore abound with biblical references.
		Yemen was the key to the Red Sea and it had a strategic position that the rulers of Cairo, Alexandria and Constantinople all wanted to posses.
		Two events were of great importance for Yemen and still affect the Yemen today: the conversion of Yemenis to Islam in 628 AD and the foundation of the Zaidi Imamate in 897 by the Imam Yahya.

		Among Yemen’s larger towns are Şa‘dah, far to the north; Dhamār, Yarim, and Ibb, in the middle region; Al Mukallā, on the southern coast; and in Hadhramaut, the towns of Shibām, Say‘ūn, and Tarīm.
		Yemen’s economy is primarily agricultural, and farming and livestock raising remain the chief livelihood for most of the population.
		Yemen’s critical response to the presence of foreign military forces massed in Saudi Arabia led the Saudi government to expel 850,000 Yemeni workers; the return of the workers and the loss of remittance payments produced widespread unemployment and economic upheaval, which led in turn to domestic political unrest.

	Bank notes of South Yemen
		The title of the Bank of Yemen (as opposed to the previous Currency Board) appears across the top of the note, under which is written the Arabic word for "Aden"; to the right of this, is the declaration in Arabic that "This note is legal tender for (the relevant denomination)".
		Firstly, the illustration on the front of both notes is dominated by a boat on a body of water; on the notes of South Yemen it is a dhow on the harbour at Aden, while on the notes of the East African Currency Board it is a native sailing vessel on Lake Victoria.
		Thus the 5 shillings of East Africa was equal to the 250 fils of South Yemen, 10 shillings was equal to 500 fils, 20 shillings was equal to 1 dinar (with both being equal to one pound sterling), and 100 shillings was equal to 5 dinars.

	The Colonial Revolution and Civil War in South Yemen
		The overthrow of British imperialism, which was forced to retreat from Aden and South Yemen because of the movement of the masses, marked the beginning of the revolution in South Yemen.
		In a poor country like South Yemen with a small population it is clear that they could not stand on their own without the support of the other deformed workers' states.
		Thus the fate of South Yemen is the fate of all the countries where deformed workers' states have been set up - progressive on the one hand with the abolition of landlordism and capitalism - but reactionary in the setting up of one-party dictatorships without democracy for the workers and peasants.

	Ancient Yemen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Because of their prominence and prosperity, the states and societies of ancient Yemen were collectively called Arabia Felix in Latin, meaning "Happy Arabia." However, when the Romans occupied Egypt in the 1st century BC they made the Red Sea their primary avenue of commerce.
		The weakened Yemeni regimes that followed the trading kingdoms were unable to prevent the occupation of Yemen by the Christian Abyssinian kingdom (modern Ethiopia) in the 4th and early 6th centuries AD and by the Sassanids of Persia in the later 6th century, just before the rise of Islam.
		Yemen was ruled by a series of Muslim caliphs, beginning with the Umayyad dynasty, which ruled from Damascus in the latter part of the 7th century; Umayyad rule was followed by the Abbasid caliphs in the early 8th century (seeCaliphate).

	South Yemen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		South Yemen is a term currently used to designate both the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (1970-1990) and its predecessor, the People's Republic of South Yemen (1967-1970), that exercised sovereignty over the territory that is now the southern part of the state of Yemen in southern Arabia.
		The term only came into general use when the Federation of South Arabia and the Protectorate of South Arabia jointly gained independence from Britain as the People's Republic of South Yemen in 1967, making a distinction from the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR) to the north necessary.
		Alternate forms were "Yemen (Aden)" for South Yemen and "Yemen (Sanaa)" for North Yemen after their respective capital cities.
