The Yemeni Arab Republic ( Arabic الجمهوريّة العربية اليمنية, DMG al-Ǧumhūriyya al-'Arabiyya al-Yamaniyya ), also known as Arab Republic of Yemen or colloquially familiar North Yemen , was a 1962 existing to 1990, state in northern Yemen, the Ottoman dominated northwestern since 1990 reunified Yemen .
The country arose after the overthrow of the monarchy in the Kingdom of Yemen on September 26, 1962 and was ruled by a unity party, the General People's Congress .
history
The Yemen Arab Republic was proclaimed on September 26, 1962. The first president was Abdullah as-Sallal from 1962 to 1967 . In the following years, however, a civil war broke out with the royalist tribes, who continued to support the overthrown King Muhammad al-Badr and received help from Saudi Arabia . As-Sallal, on the other hand, was supported by Egypt with troops, but they were ordered back in the Six Day War between Israel and Egypt, Jordan and Syria in June 1967. In fact, Yemen was united with Egypt until 1967 . Corresponding formal declarations of intent signed in 1964 and 1965 were to be implemented after the end of the war.
From 1967 to 1974 there were border fights with the socialist People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, which had existed in South Yemen since November 1967 . The tenure of President Abdul Rahman al-Iriani from 1971 onwards, whose main focus was on strengthening the central government, did not change that. It took a total of eight years after the state was founded until the country got its own constitution after the end of the civil war . In 1974, then President Al-Irjani was overthrown by Colonel Ibrahim al-Hamdi , who enlisted the help of the military. This repealed the constitution and parliament, but ultimately failed due to resistance from its own people and the influence of South Yemen. In 1977 he was murdered in Sanaa .
In June 1978 the new president, Colonel Ahmed Hussein al-Ghashmi , was killed by a letter bomb allegedly from South Yemen . Only two days later, the South Yemeni President Salim Ruba'i fell victim to a coup d'état, whereupon the already changeable relations with South Yemen after 1972 worsened again blatantly. From July 17, 1978, President Ali Abdullah Salih ruled the country and achieved reunification with South Yemen on May 22, 1990.
