title: Wahidi Haban
text: Wahidi Habban ( ), or the Wahidi Sultanate of Habban in Hadhramaut ( ), was one of several Wahidi states in the British Aden Protectorate.  Its capital was Habban. The last sultan, Husayn ibn Abd Allah Al Wahidi, was deposed and the state was abolished in 1967 upon the founding of the People's Republic of South Yemen. The area is now part of the Republic of Yemen.
  
  History
  The predecessor state, the Wahidi Sultanate (Saltanat al-Wahidiyya), was established at an uncertain date.
  In 1830 the Wahidi Sultanate split into four states: 
   Wahidi Sultanate of Ba´l Haf (Saltanat Ba al-Haf al-Wahidiyya) 
   Wahidi Sultanate of `Azzan (Saltanat `Azzan al-Wahidiyya) 
   Wahidi Sultanate of Bi´r `Ali `Amaqin  (Saltanat Bi'r `Ali `Amaquin al-Wahidiyya) 
   Wahidi Sultanate of Habban (Saltanat Habban al-Wahidiyya) 
  On 4 May 1881 Ba´l Haf and `Azzan joined. In 1888 the Wahidi Sultanate of Ba´l Haf and `Azzan became a British protectorate. 
  In 1895 Bi´r `Ali `Amaqin also came under British protection. On 23 Oct 1962 the joint sultanate was renamed Wahidi Sultanate (al-Saltana al-Wahidiyya), while Bi´r `Ali and Habban remained subordinate sultanates. 
  On 29 Nov 1967 with the independence of the People's Republic of South Yemen all states were abolished.
