The 1948 Coup Against Imam Yahya: A Family Feud That Changed Yemen
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna revisit a pivotal moment in Yemeni history: the 1948 coup that killed Imam Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din and briefly brought the al-Wazir family to power. They explore the internal Zaydi dynastic struggle between the Hamid ed-Din and al-Wazir clans, the role of the Free Yemeni movement led by Muhammad Mahmud al-Zubayri, and how the coup unraveled when Crown Prince Ahmad bin Yahya escaped assassination and rallied the Hashid and Bakil tribes. The conversation covers the siege of Sanaa, the execution of Abdullah al-Wazir, and the lasting impact on Yemen's path to the 1962 revolution. Lucas also explains the cultural significance of Dar al-Hajar, the rock palace built by Imam Yahya, and how it symbolizes his isolated rule. No generic filler — just a deep dive into a forgotten turning point.
