Yemen's 1948 Coup: The Assassination of Imam Yahya
Om avsnittet
In February 1948, a cabal of Zaidi sayyids and reformist politicians assassinated Imam Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din, ending his 44-year iron grip on Yemen. This episode unpacks the coup's planning, the shocking attack at a mountain pass south of Sana'a, the brief reign of the reformist Imam Abdullah al-Wazir, and the brutal counter-coup by Crown Prince Ahmad bin Yahya. We explore the Free Yemeni Party's vision, the role of the al-Wazir family, the execution of the plotters, and how this failed uprising set the stage for Yemen's 1962 revolution. A forgotten turning point in modern Yemeni history.
