Gutes Exemplar. - KOPIE / Xerokopie; Copy; professionell gebunden. - Ausgabe schätzungsweise um 1970. - Englisch. - Jemen bzw. Yemen (amtlich Jemenitische Republik, arabisch DMG al-?umh?riyya al-Yamaniyya) ist ein Staat in Vorderasi…en, im Süden der Arabischen Halbinsel. Jemen grenzt im Norden an Saudi-Arabien, im Osten an Oman, im Süden an den Golf von Aden und das Arabische Meer, im Westen an das Rote Meer. Die Staaten Dschibuti und Eritrea liegen etwa 20 bzw. 30 Kilometer entfernt jenseits des Roten Meeres. Zu Jemen gehören auch die Inselgruppe Sokotra sowie zahlreiche kleinere Inseln im Bab al-Mandab im Roten Meer und im Arabischen Meer. Der Staat Jemen ist aufgrund des Bürgerkrieges allerdings gescheitert, auf dem beschriebenen ehemaligen Staatsgebiet existieren derzeit mehrere De-facto-Staaten. Im Jahr 1990 vereinigten sich die zwei früheren Staaten Jemenitische Arabische Republik (JAR, "Nordjemen"; Hauptstadt Sanaa) und Demokratische Volksrepublik Jemen (DVJ, "Südjemen", Hauptstadt Aden) zum heutigen Staat. Seit 2013 herrschte zunächst ein Bürgerkrieg. In diesem Konflikt gelang es den Huthi-Milizen, die Hauptstadt Sanaa und große Teile des Landes zu erobern. Am 25. März 2015 leitete Saudi-Arabien unter militärischer Mitwirkung acht weiterer Staaten (Islamische Militärkoalition) eine militärische Intervention unter dem Namen Operation Decisive Storm zur Unterstützung der Zentralregierung unter Staatspräsident Hadi und des Regierungschefs Chalid Bahah ein. Damit weitete sich der Konflikt massiv aus und wird als Stellvertreterkrieg zwischen Saudi-Arabien und dem Iran bewertet. Aufgrund des Krieges im Land sind Stand 1. April 2022 4,3 Millionen der Menschen im Land Binnenflüchtlinge. 70 Prozent der Bevölkerung sind auf internationale Hilfe zum Überleben angewiesen. .

The Republic now embraces the territories which had remained under British domination for nearly 130 years ending in November 1967 after four years of armed struggle. The National Liberation Front formed the Govt. These territories include the former Crown Colony of Aden, the Federation of South Arabia, the Protectorates of Hadhramaut and Mahara and the islands of Socotra, Kuria Muria, Kamaran and Perim. I have sought to present a book of information and interest to the foreign reader, visitor, tourist, businessman and potential investor. Thus there are chapters on tourism, the economy, agriculture and fisheries, the famous port of Aden, as well as a mass of figures about various aspects of life in the country depicting progress as well as revealing efforts to overcome shortcomings and problems facing the Administration. The fact is that this state was ushered into independence amidst incredibly difficult circumstances. British aid was withdrawn shortly after independence leaving the budget suffering from a staggering deficit. British forces were withdrawn on the eve of independence draining in their wake huge amounts of liquid cash which they used to pour into the markets by way of daily individual and family spending on everything from housing to taxis and provision stores. To aggravate the situation, the Suez Canal was closed to traffic following the war in the Middle East in June 1967 depriving Aden of nearly eighty per cent of ships that regularly called at Aden buying bunker oil and bringing ships' passengers to shop in Aden's bazars. Little wonder, then, that quite a few observers inside and outside the country had anticipated a swift collapse of the economy following the birth of the State in such adverse financial conditions. But the government took whatever stern measures were necessary to curtail public expenditure to the minimum. Nevertheless, the economy in general suffered grievously and unemployment reached record proportions. Over thirtyfive thousand persons were rendered jobless without a faint hope of re-employment in the foreseeable future. (Vorwort) Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 700.

Aden 1935, d. Jeddah 2019) studied politics and history at St Xavier's in Bombay, then journalism at Columbia. He edited and published the English language weekly "Aden Chronicle" and his father's Arabic language weekly "Fatat Jezirah" until 1967, then became correspondent for UPI, the New York Times, and Newsweek. By this time, he had also written books on the Yemen Revolution, Yemen (1970), and Djibouti Today. He went on to become Editor-in-Chief of Arab News. This work is apparently self-published, although he uses the Aden Chronicle address in his Foreword. He wrote it at an especially challenging time, noting that the new country had been plunged into "a staggering deficit" upon independence in 1967. This had been caused by an end to the overseas aid and local spending that had come with British withdrawal, and drastic reduction in bunker fuel and tourism receipts due to the closure of the Suez Canal in 1967. He wrote this "comprehensive guide book" or "fact book" in response, to alert foreign readers, visitors, tourists, businesspeople and potential investors about the country and the efforts of "her gallant and hospitable people as written by one of them" (back cover / Preface). His chapters cover tourism, economy, agriculture and fisheries, Aden port, history, geography, geology, archaeology, animal life, etc. Photos show tourist attractions, monuments, agricultural, industrial, cultural and other pursuits. The maps show Aden and its environs, and PDRY.
