Title:

Dynastic Claims of the Imam of Sana'a to the Aden Protectorate

Scope & Content:

The file contains a note by George Stewart Symes (Political Resident and Commander-in-Chief, Aden) written to the Secretary of State, 22 October 1928, which introduces three enclosures.

Enclosure 1: A note drawn up by Major Trenchard Craven William Fowle (First Assistant Resident, Aden) with a précis of the history of Yemen AD 600-1928, to refute the dynastic claims of the Imam of Sana'a [Ṣanʻā'] to the Aden Protectorate. This is based on two reports by Captain Munshi Fazluddin (Enclosures 2, and 3). It covers the reliability of Fazluddin as a source, outlines the lack of 'dynasty' in Aden, and argues against the basis of the Imam's claims.

Enclosure 2: A brief outline of the history of Yemen during the Moslem period, by Captain Munshi Fazluddin, I M S, Political Office, Hodeidah, 1922.

Enclosure 3: A note on the Zaidi Imamate of Sanaa [Ṣanʻā'], by Captain Munshi Fazluddin, I M S, Political Office, Hodeidah. It covers Sunnism, Shiaism and their teachings on succession, and divides the Zaidi Imamate in Yemen in to two periods for analysis: 902-1630, and 1630 to the time of writing.

Printed for the use of the Colonial Office, March 1929.
