Upper Aulaqi Sheikdom
The Upper Aulaqi Sheikdom ( Arabic مشيخة العوالق العليا, DMG Mašyaḫat al-ʿAwāliq al-ʿUlyā ) was a landlocked country within the South Arab Federation , after it briefly belonged to the Federation of the United Arab Emirates of the South . Its capital was Yeshbum .
The upper Aulaqi sheichtum lay east of the upper and north of the lower Aulaqi sultanate . His last Sheikh Amir Abd Allah ibn Muhsin al-Yaslami al-Aulaqi, who like all his predecessors belonged to the Maʿn tribe, was ousted in 1967, whereupon the sheikdom was dissolved in the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen . The area is now part of the Republic of Yemen .
