Report by Mr. Roderic brown, Q.C., on procedurs for the arrest, interrogation and detention of suspected terrorists in Aden; 14 November 1966: by
Roderic Bowen, with an introduction by George Brown, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, 23p, Cmnd. 3165, London, HMSO, December 1966. (Aden was
induced to join the Federation of South Arabia in 1963. The British hoped that the federation would form the nucleus for an independent successor state;
envisioned as a loose union between a self-governing Aden and the tribal areas. But, while the federation eventually achieved a membership of
seventeen, in what proved to be a self-destructing strategy, the large sultanates in the Eastern Protectorate refused to join. A basic weakness of the
federation was its attempt to unite cosmopolitan Aden, with its partially democratic society and modern economy, with the tribal societies and feudal
economies of the protectorate territories. Anti-British leaders formed rival organizations with the goal of achieving independence for a southern Yemen
organized and governed as a modern society. The most effective of these organizations was the National Liberation Front (NLF), which by 1967 had undermined
the federation, deposed many of the rulers in the protectorate, and eliminated its rivals within the anti-British factions. In the end the British
were compelled to abandon the remaining sultans and negotiate with the NLF. They evacuated their naval base in Aden, and South Yemen achieved
independence as the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen, on Nov. 30, 1967. This text reports on some of the fighting undertaken by British forces in opposition
to the NLF.)
