Warriors of Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen have gathered in a place during North Yemen Civil War in 1962, they hold rifle and listening something The North Yemen Civil War (Arabic: ثورة 26 سبتمبر‎‎) was fought in North Yemen from 1962 to 1970 between royalist partisans of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom and supporters of the Yemen Arab Republic. The war began with a coup d'état carried out in 1962 by revolutionary republicans led by the army under the command of Abdullah as-Sallal, who dethroned the newly crowned Imam Muhammad al-Badr and declared Yemen a republic under his presidency. The Imam escaped to the Saudi Arabian border where he rallied popular support from northern Shia tribes to retake power, escalating shortly to a full-scale civil war. On the royalist side Jordan and Saudi Arabia supplied military aid, and Britain gave covert support, while the republicans were supported by Egypt and were supplied warplanes from the Soviet Union. Both foreign irregular and conventional forces were involved. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, supported the republicans with as many as 70,000 Egyptian troops and weapons. Egyptian military historians refer to the war in Yemen as their Vietnam and historian Michael Oren (former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S) wrote that Egypt's military adventure in Yemen was so disastrous that "the imminent Vietnam War could easily have been dubbed America's Yemen." ************ The Hashemite Mutawakkilite Kingdom (sometimes spelled Hashemite Mutawakkilite Kingdom; Arabic: المملكة المتوكلية الهاشمية‎‎ al-Mamlakah al-Mutawakkilīyah Al-Hashimiyah), also known as the Kingdom of Yemen or, retrospectively, as North Yemen, was a state that existed between 1918 and 1962 in the northern part of what is now Yemen. Its capital was Sana'a until 1948, then Taiz.

EACH PRINT IS UNIQUE AND HISTORIC

SEE the BACKSIDE OF the PHOTO - many times the image for sale will present stamps, dates, and other publication details - these marks attest to and increase the value of the press photos.

Few were preserved and are nowadays carefully stored in our archives.
