Aden in Yemen YEMEN yemen. aden Informations and links Aden Map Aden Photos Aden ------------------------------- Aden is a city in Yemen, 105 miles (170 kilometers) East of Bab-el-Mandeb. Its ancient, natural harbour lies in the crater of an extinct 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 BCE. The modern harbour is on the other side of the peninsula. Aden now has a population of about 590,000[1] and is located at 12.779444? N 45.03667? E. Aden consists of a number of small towns: Crater, the original port city, the industrial city known as Little Aden with its large oil refinery, and Madinat ash-Sha'b, the centre of government. Two suburbs, Khormaksar and Sheikh Othman, lie north of Crater, the old city, with the international airport situated between them. This is the former RAF Khormaksar. As Aden encloses the eastern side of the Port, Little Aden forms its mirror image, enclosing it on the western side. Little Aden became the site of the oil refinery and Tanker port. Both these last were operated by British Petroleum. Aden was the capital of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen until that country's unification with the Yemen Arab Republic when it was declared a free trade zone. It gives its name to the Gulf of Aden. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
North Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. The British, who had set up a protectorate area around the southern port of Aden in the 19th century, withdrew in 1967 from what became South Yemen. Three years later, the southern government adopted a Marxist orientation. The massive exodus of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis from the south to the north contributed to two decades of hostility between the states. The two countries were formally unified as the Republic of Yemen in 1990. A southern secessionist movement in 1994 was quickly subdued. In 2000, Saudi Arabia and Yemen agreed to a delimitation of their border..
