Abd al-Latif Dayfallah
Abd al-Latif Dayfallah (born January 1, 1930 in Harbeth, Ibb Governorate , North Yemen ; † March 27, 2019 Arabic عبد اللطيف ضيف الله, DMG ʿAbd al-Laṭīf Ḍaif Allāh , sometimes also transcribed Daifallah , Dhaifallah or Deifulah ) was a Yemeni military and politician . In 1963 he was briefly the first Prime Minister of the newly formed Yemeni Arab Republic (Northern Yemen).
Career
Unlike Abdullah as-Sallal or Hassan al-Amri , Dayfallah did not receive his military training in Baghdad , but in 1955 at the Military Academy in Cairo , where he came into contact with Nasserism . At the time of the fall of the monarchy in September 1962, he was already a trainer for the Yemeni army . Under al-Sallal, Dayfallah first became Minister of the Interior and - after President Sallal had separated the office of head of government from that of head of state - on April 26, 1963, the first President of the Executive Council ( Prime Minister ) of the republic. He was also a member of the Army High Command and the Presidential Council. After he had to relinquish the office of Prime Minister to Abd ar-Rahman al-Iryani on October 5, 1963 , he was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health and Agriculture (from May 1964) and Minister of Public Works and Transport (from 1964 to 1967) from July 1965 or September 1966) or community affairs and communication in the cabinets of Hamud al-Jaifis , Numans , al-Sallals and al-Amris.
After the fall of al-Sallal (1967), Dayfallah became chief of staff and deputy commander in chief of the army under al-Iryani and al-Amri in 1968 . From 1971 to 1973 he was again Minister of Communications, then again Minister for Public Works in 1973. After the overthrow of the Muhsin al-Aini cabinet by pro- Saudi Arabian circles, Dayfallah acted again as an interim premier for a few days from January 16 to 25, 1975, before finally joining Abd al-Aziz Abd al-Ghani as the Saudis' candidate was commissioned to form a government. Dayfallah was again communications minister in the new cabinet, and in 1976 he was briefly deputy prime minister and interior minister again.
