The Aden Emergency was an insurgency against the British Crown forces in the British controlled territories of South Arabia which now form part of the Yemen. Partly inspired by Nasser's pan Arab nationalism, it began on 10 December 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.
Background
Aden was originally of interest to Britain as an anti-piracy station to protect shipping on the routes to British India. With the advent of the Suez Canal in 1869, it further served as a coaling station. Following the independence of India in 1947, Aden became less important to the United Kingdom.
Aden (UK/ˈeɪdən/AY-duhn,US/ˈɑːdɛn/AH-den;Arabic:عدنʻAdin/ʻAdanYemeni pronunciation: [ˈʕæden, ˈʕædæn]) is a seaport city in Yemen, located by the eastern approach to the Red Sea (the Gulf of Aden), some 170 kilometres (110mi) east of Bab-el-Mandeb. Its population is approximately 800,000 people. Aden's ancient, natural harbour lies in the crater of a dormant volcano which now forms a peninsula, joined to the mainland by a low isthmus. This harbour, Front Bay, was first used by the ancient Kingdom of Awsan between the 5th and 7th centuries BC. The modern harbour is on the other side of the peninsula. Aden gives its name to the Gulf of Aden.
Aden consists of a number of distinct sub-centres: Crater, the original port city; Ma'alla, the modern port; Tawahi, known as "Steamer Point" in the colonial period; and the resorts of Gold Mohur. Khormaksar, located on the isthmus that connects Aden proper with the mainland, includes the city's diplomatic missions, the main offices of Aden University, and Aden International Airport (the former British Royal Air Force station RAF Khormaksar), Yemen's second biggest airport. On the mainland are the sub-centres of Sheikh Othman, a former oasis area; Al-Mansura, a town planned by the British; and Madinat ash-Sha'b (formerly Madinat al-Itihad), the site designated as the capital of the South Arabian Federation and now home to a large power/desalinization facility and additional faculties of Aden University.

Soldier in the Sun (1964) Aden/Yemen BBC
From 1964, this "informational programme" follows the British Army in Aden (Yemen) during the state of emergency in 1964.
Aden was one of the last outposts of the British Empire and a strategic part of the Arabian Gulf guarding access to the Suez Canal. The British colony had become a hotbed of insurgency, supported by Egypt. The film follows British (occuypying) troops as they try to keep order in an increasingly violent mountainous region from where the insurgents regularly attack the Port area.

British Troops Battle Aden Rebels | 2 Paratroopers Killed | "Cap Badge" | Radfan Campaign | May 1964
Tuesday, May 5th 1964.
Footage from a furious battle between British troops and local insurgents linked to the National Liberation Front, a Marxist political organisation with a paramilitary wing.
Source: Reuters News Archive.
Notes:
The British troops were carrying out the second phase of the Radfan Campaign, one of a series of operations conducted during the Aden Emergency between January and May of 1964.
The first operation in January was known as "Nut cracker" and this, the second one, was dubbed "Cap Badge". The battle on the Radfan Mountains lasted for 12 hours with two British paratroops killed and at least 6 insurgents killed.
The British paratroopers began the operation by marching under the darkness of night to an area where they encircled the insurgents. An artillery force...

British Soldiers The Aden Emergency
The Aden Emergency, also known as the Radfan Uprising, was an insurgency against the British Crown and South Arabia forces in the British Protectorate 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.

My name is Chris Green and I love to share stories from British history. Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today.
History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.
My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: "Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!"
Just for the record, I do have a history degree in Medieval & Modern history from the University of Birmingham.

My name is Chris Green and I love to share stories from British history. Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today.
History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.
My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: "Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!"
Just for the record, I do have a history degree in Medieval & Modern history from the University of Birmingham.

From 1964, this "informational programme" follows the British Army in Aden (Yemen) during the state of emergency in 1964.
Aden was one of the last outposts of the British Empire and a strategic part of the Arabian Gulf guarding access to the Suez Canal. The British colony had become a hotbed of insurgency, supported by Egypt. The film follows British (occuypying) troops as they try to keep order in an increasingly violent mountainous region from where the insurgents regularly attack the Port area.

Tuesday, May 5th 1964.
Footage from a furious battle between British troops and local insurgents linked to the National Liberation Front, a Marxist political organisation with a paramilitary wing.
Source: Reuters News Archive.
Notes:
The British troops were carrying out the second phase of the Radfan Campaign, one of a series of operations conducted during the Aden Emergency between January and May of 1964.
The first operation in January was known as "Nut cracker" and this, the second one, was dubbed "Cap Badge". The battle on the Radfan Mountains lasted for 12 hours with two British paratroops killed and at least 6 insurgents killed.
The British paratroopers began the operation by marching under the darkness of night to an area where they encircled the insurgents. An artillery force fired a salvo of rounds for diversionary purposes while the paratroops charged a targeted village and occupied it. They were then fired upon from the surrounding mountains and pinned down until relieved by marine commandos.
A communique issued at the time by the British Middle East Commander-in-Chief said that while the British had achieved their immediate aim, the "military threat" had not been eliminated.
A total of 13 British military personnel were killed between April 25th 1964 and July 31st 1964.
The Radfan uprising would escalate in 1967 and British forces would be withdrawn and bring to an end British rule which had commenced in 1839.
The independent People's Republic of South Yemen was then proclaimed.

The Aden Emergency, also known as the Radfan Uprising, was an insurgency against the British Crown and South Arabia forces in the British Protectorate 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.
Here is a short piece of film that was grabbed by a Reuters cameraman in 1967. It graphically shows the hatred of the local people that had built up in the British troops.

Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Tek başınayız aden
Hiç kimsemiz yok aden
Paramparçayız aden
Vurdular ölmedim aden
[Verse]
Aden bir var bir yok
Kaçıcamda yok bi yol
Tanrı durma yap diyor
Kalbim uslanmıyor
Beden hissizleşiyor
Acıyı hissetmiyor
Aden yakıp yıkıyor geriye ne kalıyor?
Varsa kalp eğer çık öteye göster
Beni böyle yarım bırakma aden bi söz ver
Veremezsin tabi çünkü hiç işine gelmez
Kızım başaramayacaksın vurulmayla ölmem.
Bir bak şu haline hep anlamsız tavırların
Sen gidersen eğer hikayemiz yarım kalır
Yeni bir hikaye yazmak baya zaman alır
Sayende düşman ettik tanrıları ,
Peşimde bir sürü dert
Kaçamam bir sürüler
Tam bitti dediğimde
Sativam alır alev
Bunu beraber yapmamız gerek yapamıyoruz,
Bir kazananı yoksa niye savaşıyoruz?

The Aden Emergency was an insurgency against the British Crown forces in the British controlled territories of South Arabia which now form part of the Yemen. Partly inspired by Nasser's pan Arab nationalism, it began on 10 December 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.
Background
Aden was originally of interest to Britain as an anti-piracy station to protect shipping on the routes to British India. With the advent of the Suez Canal in 1869, it further served as a coaling station. Following the independence of India in 1947, Aden became less important to the United Kingdom.
The Aden Emergency 1963-67, is another one of those forgotten conflicts that marked the end of the British Empire.

The Aden Emergency 1963-67, is another one of those forgotten conflicts that marked the end of the British Empire.
Over 90 British servicemen were killed and 500 wounded in a 4-year war that not only has been largely forgotten but which Britain never really wanted to fight in the first place.
It also brought to the fore a maverick British Army officer, Lt. Colonel Colin Mitchell, dubbed by the press “Mad Mitch”.
