Instructions

(English isn't my native language) The Tumbnail is rushed and it's 11pm in my country while writing this, though I won't remake it, I'm to lazy for this. Historical context: (If you care about Yemen, that I recomend you to listen to the documentaries I put in the "Main Sources". If you don't care, but want to know, what the animation is about, then read it, but the text is long and may be not 100% accurate.) FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES While Southern Yemen was under British control from 1839 (at least Aden) until 1967, most of North Yemen’s territory was part of the Ottoman Empire beginning in 1519, then the Ottomans left in the 1600s, returned in 1849 and stayed until the end of World War 1 in 1918. After the Ottoman Empire withdrew, the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen was established. It was a theocracy, which was ruled by a Zaydi Imam, the first ruler was Imam Yahya. He was assassinated in 1948 and succeeded by his son Imam Ahmad. The Kingdom joined the United Arab States in 1958, but withdrew three years later. In 1967 a rebellion against the Imamate took place. It lead to a civil war, which lasted until 1970. The war was won by the Arab-nationalist side and they proclaimed the Yemen Arab Republic. Meanwhile in South Yemen, the British withdrew in 1967, and the People’s Republic of Yemen was established. After a communist coup two years later, it was renamed to the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen, Salim Rubaya Ali became president. North Yemen: The president of the Yemen Arab Republic, Abdul Rahman al-Eryani, was overthrown in a coup in 1974, and was succeeded by Ibrahim Muhammad al-Hamdi, who was then assassinated in 1977. Ahmad al-Ghashmi ruled Yemen only for about a year, until he was assassinated in year 1978. The next president became Ali Abdullah Saleh, who ruled North Yemen until the unification with the south and then the unified Yemen until 2012. He was very corrupt and amassed between 32 and 64 billion Dollars for himself while in office. South Yemen: The socialist state had close relations with the Soviet Union. In 1978, the National Front was transformed into the Yemen Socialist Party, which had the goal of an unified Yemen. The new head of state became Abdu Fattah Ismail and stayed until 1980, when he was forced to resign. He moved to the Soviet Union and returned five years later. Ali Nasir Muhammad was the new president of South Yemen. In 1986 started a short civil war, it lasted for 12 days, between the supporters of Abdu Fattah Ismail and the supporters of Ali Nasir Muhammad. Abdu Fattah Ismail died, Ali Nasir Muhammad fled, Ali Salem al-Beidh became the president after the civil war. In 1990 the Soviet Union began collapsing and stopped funding the Democratic Republic of Yemen. Between 1967 and 1990 it came to two brief wars between the Yemens. One was in 1972, the other in 1979. Unification talks were held after the end of the civil war in the South. In 1990 North Yemen and South Yemen unified as the Republic of Yemen. While Ali Abdullah Saleh became president of the Republic of Yemen, the leader of South Yemen, Ali Salem al-Beidh, was announced vice president. However, the north struggled to integrate the economy of the south. The government of Yemen refused to support the military intervention against Iraq. Saudi Arabia sent the Yemeni guestworkers back to Yemen because of that. In 1993 the first parliamentary election took place, where the General people’s Congress (Saleh’s party), the Yemeni socialist Party (al-Beidh’s party) and Al-Islah formed a coalition. Only four years after the unification South Yemen rebelled against Saleh, officially seceded from the Republic of Yemen to declare the Democratic Republic of Yemen with al-Beidh as president and a civil war began. The North emerged victorious. The vice president of Yemen after al-Beidh became Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi. (Do you think I need to censor H0uth! ? And what if I replace the o’s and i’s with 0’s and !’s? Will I live?) In 1990 Hussein al-H0uth! formed a Zaydi religious movement, which was later called after him. Saleh ordered his arrest in 2004, but al-H0uth! hasn’t got captured and started a rebellion in Saada (North Yemen). He was killed during the rebellion and the government declared victory, but already one year later, in 2005, the second rebellion in Saada broke out, this time lead by Hussein al-H0uth!s father, Badreddin al-H0uth!. There were six uprisings in total by the H0uth!s, the third took place in 2005-2006, the fourth in 2007, the fifth in 2008 (unlike the previous four, the fighting also took place in other locations than Saada) and the sixth was in 2009-2010. In the meantime protests started in the south in 2006. Finally, Saleh was overthrown in 2012 during the Arab Spring. He transferred the authority to his deputy Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi. [...]
