Abdullah Kurschumi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abdullah Hussein Kurschumi ( Arabic عبد الله كرشمي, DMG ʿAbd Allāh Kuršumī ; born 1932 in Bayt Baus, Sanaa Governorate , North Yemen ; died 2007 ibid) was a Yemeni politician. From 1969 to 1970 he was Prime Minister of the Yemeni Arab Republic (Northern Yemen).

Sent abroad for training, Kurschumi studied engineering at Cairo's Ain-Shams University and then worked as an architect from 1960 until the fall of the monarchy in September 1962. From 1962 to 1964 he was first minister for public works in the first republican government of Abdullah as-Sallal , then from 1968 minister of communication and 1969 minister of transport in the cabinet of Hassan al-Amri .

After al-Amri resigned in July 1969, Ambassador Muhsin al-Aini, who was returning from Moscow , was supposed to form a government. Al-Aini failed, however, and al-Amri's deputy prime minister, Abdul Salam Sabrah, remained in office until Kurschumi established a government instead on September 2, 1969. He took over Sabrah as vice premier. Kurschumi's government broke up because of the dispute over the state budget, so that after Kurschumi's resignation on February 5, 1970, al-Aini finally formed a new government.

Thereafter, Kurshumi acted from 1973 to 1974 as director of the motorway / expressway authority and was again Minister for Public Works in the cabinet of Abdul Aziz Abdul Ghani in 1975 after al-Aini's final overthrow (until 1990).
