Extractions: At a very early date, political, economic and trading relations were established between the Yemenite dynasties and other early cultures of the ancient world. Yemen became a classic transit land for transporting goods from the Indian sub-continent to the Mediterranean countries. Thus transport and the dangers of crossing the desert regions became a main source of income. Through this transit function, Yemen also remained open to foreign influences. One of these was Islam, which spread from the 7th century onwards from Mecca and Medina. Yemen was one of the first countries to convert to Islam, so that over the centuries it became a stronghold of Islam in the south of the Arabian peninsula. Many different forms of Islam, some of them originating in Yemen, found their followers. The majority of Yemenis are Sunnites, but there are various Shiite groups, such as the northern Zaidis (who are currently trying to re-establish the Imamate), and the Wahibi, based in Saudi Arabia, continue to proselytise. The Sufis have their followers in the Hadramaut; the Ismaelis have made Hotaib their pilgrimage centre in the highlands. Islam architecture in Yemen tells us much about the development of Islam architecture in general, as well as about the history of the typical Yemeni style. Islam forbids any figurative representation; thus calligraphy, the Arabic ornamental script for Koran texts, and elements of architectural decoration (stucco, glass and alabaster windows) were cultivated and refined to perfection.

The Rise of Islam History, The Rise of Islam The Islamic era, which began in the 7th century, contains many events critical to the formation of Yemen and the Yemeni people. The force with which Islam spread from its origins in Mecca and Medina in the nearby region of Al ?ijaz (the Hejaz) led to Yemen’s rapid and thorough conversion to Islam. Yemenis were well-represented among the first soldiers of Islam who marched north, west, and east of Arabia to expand Muslim territory. search this website :: site map privacy legal

Extractions: Time and Date In 1972, the governments of the PDRY and the YAR declared that they approved a future union. little progress was made toward unification, and relations were often strained. In 1979, simmering tensions led to fighting, which was only resolved after Arab League mediation. The goal of unity was reaffirmed by the northern and southern heads of state during a summit meeting in Kuwait in March 1979. that same year the PDRY began sponsoring an insurgency against the YAR. In April 1980, PDRY President Abdul Fattah Ismail resigned and went into exile. His successor, Ali Nasir Muhammad, took a less interventionist stance toward both the YAR and neighboring Oman. On January 13, 1986, a violent fight began in Aden between Ali Nasir Muhammad and the returned Abdul Fattah Ismail and their supporters. Fighting lasted for more than a month and resulted in thousands of casualties, Ali Nasir's ouster, and Ismail's death. Some 60,000 persons, including Ali Nasir and his supporters, fled to the YAR. In November 1989, the leaders of the YAR (Ali Abdallah Saleh) and the PDRY (Ali Salim Al-Bidh) agreed on a draft unity constitution originally drawn up in 1981. The Republic of Yemen (ROY) was declared on May 22, 1990. Ali Abdallah Saleh became President, and Ali Salim Al-Bidh became Vice President.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, Yemen came into the 7 th century under the influence of Islam, which was then rapidly expanding throughout the region. It remained within the orbit of various regional powers until, in the 15 th century, it became a flash point in the strain between the Egyptians and the Ottoman Empire. Its tactical location subsequently attracted European powers and, during the early 17 th and early 19 th centuries, there was a constant struggle for control between the Europeans and the Ottomans.

The Sabaean kingdom (see Sheba ) flourished from c.750 B.C. to c.115 B.C. , with Marib (located east of Sana) the capital after c.600 B.C. Sabaean society was highly developed technically, as witnessed by the remains of a great dam at Marib that was the center of a large irrigation system. The Himyarites, who followed the Sabaeans, were invaded by the Romans (1st cent. B.C. ) and were occupied by the Ethiopians (c. A.D. A.D. After the breakup of the caliphate, Yemen came under the control of the rising Rassite dynasty, imams of the Zaidi sect who built the theocratic political structure of Yemen that lasted until 1962. The Fatamid caliphs of Egypt occupied most of Yemen from c.1000 until c.1175, when it fell to the Ayyubids, who ruled until c.1250. By 1520, Yemen formed part of the Ottoman Empire, which exercised at least nominal sovereignty until the end of World War I. A turbulent wave of Wahhabism, a puritanical sect of Islam, swept across the Arabian peninsula at the opening of the 19th cent. and drove out the Zaidi imams. Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt, acting in the name of the Ottoman sultan, drove out the Wahhabis in 1818, and the Egyptians remained until 1840. The Ottoman Turks then replaced the Egyptians, giving the imam full autonomy in the interior.

Extractions: home Middle East Yemen History Yemen, History 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 . With the decline of the caravan routes, the kingdoms of southern Arabia lost much of their wealth and fell into obscurity. Red Sea traffic sailed past Yemen, and what seaborne commerce Yemen engaged in had little impact on the country’s interior. The Tihamah region, which was hot, humid, swept by sandstorms, and clouded in haze, isolated the comparatively well-watered and populous highlands. 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. deeper links

British influence increased in the south and eastern portion of Yemen after the British captured the port of Aden in 1839. It was ruled as part of British India until 1937, when Aden was made a crown colony with the remaining land designated as east Aden and west Aden protectorates. Independently, there were two British protectorates (known as the Eastern and Western Aden Protectorates) which contained 24 sultanates, emirates and sheikhdoms in the hinterland of Aden. By 1965, most of the tribal states within the protectorates and the Aden colony proper had joined to form the British-sponsored federation of south Arabia. By 1965, most of the tribal states within the protectorates and the Aden colony proper had joined to form the British-sponsored Federation of South Arabia. South Yemen began its decent into violence in 1965 as two rival nationalist groups (the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen (FLOSY) and the National Liberation Front (NLF)) began terrorist campaigns in their struggle for control of Yemen.

The British, who had set up a protectorate area around the southern port of Aden in the 19th century, withdrew in 1967 from what became South Yemen. Three years later, the southern government adopted a Marxist orientation. The massive exodus of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis from the south to the north contributed to two decades of hostility between the states. The two countries were formally unified as the Republic of Yemen in 1990. A southern secessionist movement in 1994 was quickly subdued. Expert Yemen History Vacation Planners

It was known to the ancient Romans as Arabia Felix because of the riches its trade generated. Augustus attempted to annex it, but the expedition failed. In the 3rd century and again in the early seventh century, many Sabaean and Himyarite people migrated out of the land of Yemen to North Africa and the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula following the destruction of the Ma'rib Dam.
