 Yemen, Republic of
Yemen was ruled by the Shi’i Zaydi dynasty of Sa’da, founded by Yahya ibn Husayn ibn Qasim ar-Rassi, from 897 CE until well into the current century, although the region came under nominal Ottoman control from 1517.
By the 1960s, the British presence in southern Yemen was mainly confined to Aden, and guerrilla fighting throughout the decade hastened the British withdrawal from Aden in 1967, leading to the establishment of the People’s Republic of South Yemen (later the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen), an Arab Marxist state.
Relations between the two Yemens were strained, as evidenced by a series of border conflicts throughout the 1970s, but relations began to improve by the early 1980s, and a constitution was drafted with the aim of eventually merging to the two states.
