The Arab nationalist who helped inspire the Aden Emergency was born in what year?
Aden Emergency The Aden Emergency, also known as the Radfan Uprising, was an insurgency against the British Crown forces in the British controlled territories of South Arabia which now form part of Yemen. Partly inspired by Nasser's pan Arab nationalism, it began on 14 October 1963 with the throwing of a grenade at a gathering of British officials at Aden Airport. A state of emergency was then declared in the British Crown colony of Aden and its hinterland, the Aden Protectorate. The emergency escalated in 1967 and hastened the end of British rule in the territory which had begun in 1839. On 30 November 1967, British forces withdrew and the independent People's Republic of South Yemen was proclaimed.
Ali Abdullah Saleh Ali Abdullah Saleh (Arabic: علي عبد الله صالح‎ ‎ , "ʿAlī ʿAbdullāh Ṣāliḥ"; born 21 March 1942) is a Yemeni politician who rose to power following the assassination of President al-Ghashmi. He was elected President of North Yemen (the Yemen Arab Republic) on 17 July 1978 at the age of 36. Following the merger of North Yemen with South Yemen on 22 May 1990, President Saleh was sworn in as the new President. Long considered a moderate President, he oversaw his country's development of deeper ties with Western powers, especially the United-States, in its fight against terrorism. In 2011, in wake of the "Arab Spring" that spread across Yemen, Saleh's time in office became more and more untenable, until eventually he was ousted as President of Yemen in 2012. He was succeeded in office by Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
