TitleAden: Political Parties Material
Reference codePP.AD
Date1963-1965
Scope and ContentPamphlets, letters and press releases issued by the Peoples' Socialist Party (Aden-Southern Yemen).
NotesDespite attempts to reconstitute the administration of the colony and its surrounding protectorate as the Federation of South Arabia, direct British control required an increasingly large army presence in the face of national armed movements and in 1967 Aden was abandoned to the forces of the National Liberation Front. The materials here date from the mid-1960s and relate the trade union-based PSP's conflicts with the British authorities and contacts with left-leaning supporters in Britain itself.
