Red Wolves of Yemen

By Vitaly Naumkin

Oleander Press

Yemen is the Arab country that has possibly contributed more significantly than any other to modern national liberation, radical leftist, and religious extremist movements in the Middle East. Its capital, Aden, turned into one of the military strongholds of the British Empire surrounded by petty tribal entities under a British protectorate which, in contrast with modernised Aden, were preserves of archaic forms of social and political life.

Surprisingly, it was South Yemen that was chosen a laboratory for testing the ability to seize power by the Movement of Arab Nationalists (MAN), one of the three giants of pan-Arab nationalism, along with Nasirism and Ba‘thism.
