7243A SOUTHERN ARABIA: BACKGROUND TO YEMEN CONFLICT

(28 Oct 1972) RR7243A SOUTHERN ARABIA: BACKGROUND TO THE YEMEN CONFLICT
Despite mediation efforts by the Arab League, the
fighting between the two Yemeni republics rumbles
on, threatening the fragile stability of Southern
Arabia. The conflict grew out of the establishment of a
Marxist regime in South Yemen (officially called the
People's Democratic Republic of Yemen) after the
British withdrew from Aden in 1967. The losing faction
in the South fled to North Yemen (officially the Yemen
Arab Republic) from where they carried out border
raids into South Yemen. In neighbouring Dhofar,
British officers have been training the Sultan's own
troops to counter a guerrilla war by Marxist rebels
supported from South Yemen. This report looks at
the history of these conflicts in this sensitive, oil-rich
area of the Middle East, and examines in detail the
nature of both Yemen regimes.
