Download or read book The First World War from Tripoli to Addis Ababa 1911 1924 written by Silvia Bruzzi and published by Centre français des études éthiopiennes. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time now it has been common understanding that Africa played only a marginal role in the First World War. Its reduced theatre of operations appeared irrelevant to the strategic balance of the major powers. This volume is a contribution to the growing body of historical literature that explores the global and social history of the First World War. It questions the supposedly marginal role of Africa during the Great War with a special focus on Northeast Africa. In fact, between 1911 and 1924 a series of influential political and social upheavals took place in the vast expanse between Tripoli and Addis Ababa. The First World War was to profoundly change the local balance of power. This volume consists of fifteen chapters divided into three sections. The essays examine the social, political and operational course of the war and assess its consequences in a region straddling Africa and the Middle East. The relationship between local events and global processes is explored, together with the regional protagonists and their agency. Contrary to the myth still prevailing, the First World War did have both immediate and long-term effects on the region. This book highlights some of the significant aspects associated with it.

SULTAN REDRESSES THE WRONGS OF PEASANTRY. 53 countries, so few remaining in residence that they could not cultivate by reason of their small numbers. In the year A.h. 737 (a.d. 1336-7) the Sultan came down from Ta'izz to Zebfd, when tidings reached him of the ruin of the vale and the dispersal of the peasantry. He was, God's mercy on him, a loving friend of the peasantry, and tenderly mindful towards them. So when he had settled down in the capital of Zebfd, heralds proclaimed security to the peasants f. 256 and an examination into the wrongs of which they complained. On this they came to the sacred gate, and a command of the Sultan was issued for a party of their chiefs to be received in audience. So four of them were admitted to an audience, at which were present the 'Emirs, the wezfrs, the ushers, and the secretaries, so that it was a most solemn audience. Then said the Sultan to the wezfr: "Ask thou the syndics of our peasantry what it is of which they complain as against us, so that we may remove it from them." And now the wezfr, addressing the peasants, said: "O ye peasants, what is it you complain of, as against our lord the Sultan, and what is the reason of your flight and of your neglecting the improvement of your countries?" They thereupon replied: "By God, we complain not of anything as against our lord the Sultan; we merely complain of the market price of Dhu'l-Hijja." The Sultan asked: "What, then, is this market price of Dhu'l-Hijja?" And they answered: "O our lord the Sultan, we are asked for what is imposed upon us for the august exchequer from every high-Iti priced thing, at the time of its sale, and at the season of corn when it is low-priced; but they demand from us the market price of last year, when the market prices...

Excerpt: ... means: "Sultan Mujahid Niiru'd-Dfn 'Aliyy son of Sultan Mu'eyyed Yiisuf son of 'Aliyy son of Resul," and is not quite correct, as the name of Sultan Melik Mansur Nuru'd-Dfn 'Umer is omitted after Yiisuf and before "son of Aliyy." In Khazrejiyy's history the surnames Niiru'd-Din and Hizebru'd-Dfn are not applied to Melik Mujahid and his father Melik Mu'eyyed; but they are probably correct. The details of the audience at which the traveller was presented to Melik Mujahid are very interesting. The traveller's visit is not noticed in the history. Playfair calls this Sultan " Abd-el-Hassan." 1200. The 'Emir Shuja'u'd-Din 'Umer son of Yiisuf son of Mansur has been mentioned in Vol. I, p. 140, in the paragraph where his ancestor Mansur the Inspector first attracts the notice of Melik Mudhaffer at Dumluwa. The murder of Shuja'u'dDfn by the slave-guards was effected when the Sultan was temporarily dethroned a short time after his accession. 1201. For the Shejira pavilion see Note 1185. The anecdote relating to the Sultan's visit to it, and to his consultation of an astrologer before proceeding thither, might be paralleled from the memoirs of more than one European sovereign of the period. 1202. For Dhu 'Uqayb see Note 846. 1203. The Makharfb quarter of the city of Ta'izz is mentioned only on this occasion of the murder of the 'Emir Shuja'u'd-Din; but for a place in Syria and a village in Yemen named Makharib (last syllable with short vowel) see Note 136 and a passage in Vol. I, p. 303. 1204. For the princess Salah, mother of Sultan Melik Mujahid, see Note 1148, where the death of her father is commented on. 1205.

Download or read book Nasser s Gamble written by Jesse Ferris and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nasser's Gamble draws on declassified documents from six countries and original material in Arabic, German, Hebrew, and Russian to present a new understanding of Egypt's disastrous five-year intervention in Yemen, which Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser later referred to as "my Vietnam." Jesse Ferris argues that Nasser's attempt to export the Egyptian revolution to Yemen played a decisive role in destabilizing Egypt's relations with the Cold War powers, tarnishing its image in the Arab world, ruining its economy, and driving its rulers to instigate the fatal series of missteps that led to war with Israel in 1967. Viewing the Six Day War as an unintended consequence of the Saudi-Egyptian struggle over Yemen, Ferris demonstrates that the most important Cold War conflict in the Middle East was not the clash between Israel and its neighbors. It was the inter-Arab struggle between monarchies and republics over power and legitimacy. Egypt's defeat in the "Arab Cold War" set the stage for the rise of Saudi Arabia and political Islam. Bold and provocative, Nasser's Gamble brings to life a critical phase in the modern history of the Middle East. Its compelling analysis of Egypt's fall from power in the 1960s offers new insights into the decline of Arab nationalism, exposing the deep historical roots of the Arab Spring of 2011.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Yemen written by Charles Schmitz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yemen has experienced wrenching changes that have transformed the country in yet unknown ways. The country exploded in a popular revolution against the long-time rule of Ali Abdallah Saleh. While the country appeared to slip toward civil war, Yemeni political elite rallied with international backers to put together a transitional government with a plan to revise the country’s constitution. The transitional government began with a cautious sense of optimism and the prospect of substantial change for the better, but ended in collapse because of a failure to govern. The politics of the street overran an ineffective transitional government that could not address the urgent concerns of Yemeni citizens for security and jobs. Instead, populist leaders exploited people’s dissatisfactions and threw the country into civil war. The Houthi organization covertly allied with its former enemy, Ali Abdallah Saleh, to overthrow the transitional government and declare war on the rest of the country. Saleh seems unable to conceive of life outside of the Presidential Palace and his Houthi allies appear to believe they are destined to rule. Unfortunately, those opposed to Saleh and the Houthi also seem unable to provide effective rule in spite of massive backing from the Gulf States. The incompetence, infighting, and incoherence of the Hadi government bode equally ill for the future of the country. The one hope may be that a new generation of Yemeni leaders emerges to displace the dismal failures of this one. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Yemen contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Yemen.

Download or read book Yemen Endures written by Ginny Hill and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, involved in a costly and merciless war against its mountainous southern neighbor Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East? When the Saudis attacked the hitherto obscure Houthi militia, which they believed had Iranian backing, to oust Yemen's government in 2015, they expected an easy victory. They appealed for Western help and bought weapons worth billions of dollars from Britain and America; yet two years later the Houthis, a unique Shia sect, have the upper hand. In her revealing portrait of modern Yemen, Ginny Hill delves into its recent history, dominated by the enduring and pernicious influence of career dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh, who ruled for three decades before being forced out by street protests in 2011. Saleh masterminded patronage networks that kept the state weak, allowing conflict, social inequality and terrorism to flourish. In the chaos that follows his departure, civil war and regional interference plague the country while separatist groups, Al-Qaeda and ISIS compete to exploit the broken state. And yet, Yemen endures.
