In this episode of the afikra community podcast, Bas Sou'al, Abdulah Al-Ghoul talks about Aden, inspired by an Al-Jazeera article titled "Queen Elizabeth's Last Foothold in Arabia". He gives a brief overview of the key historical context around Britain's colony in Yemen, changing sentiments leading to the "Aden Emergency" through which Yemen gained independence, and the birth of South Yemen - the Arab world's only Marxist state. Finally, together with co-hosts Mysa and Yasmin, he talks about the important (but often overlooked) legacy and ongoing impact of the British in Yemen.
