Yemen's Last Sultan: Al-Qu'ayti and the Hadhrami State
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the forgotten history of the Qu'ayti Sultanate, a British-backed state that ruled much of Hadhramawt from 1881 to 1967. They trace the rise of Umar bin Awad al-Qu'ayti, a Hadhrami migrant who made a fortune in Hyderabad, India, and returned to conquer the region with a private army. The episode delves into the sultanate's capital, al-Mukalla, its intricate power-sharing with the Kathiri Sultanate, and its eventual absorption into the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. Along the way, they discuss the role of the British Empire, the decline of the frankincense trade, and the legacy of the Qu'ayti state in modern Yemeni politics. This is a story of migration, empire, and the fragile states that emerged from the margins of Ottoman and British influence.
