The Wahidi Sultanate: Yemen's Forgotten Princely State
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the history of the Wahidi Sultanate, one of the many small princely states that dotted the hinterlands of Aden and Hadhramawt before Yemeni unification. They trace its origins in the 17th century, its complex relationship with the British Empire through the Aden Protectorate, and its eventual dissolution into the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen in 1967. Along the way, they discuss the role of the Wahidi sultans in the coffee and frankincense trades, the 1888 treaty that made it a British protectorate, and the last sultan, Ali ibn Abdullah al-Wahidi, who abdicated in 1967. The episode also touches on the unique architecture of the region, including the mud-brick palaces that still stand today, and the legacy of these small states in modern Yemen's federalism debates.
