In this concise account of the history of the political rivalries confronting Ottoman Yemen, Caesar E. Farah delineates the various military campaigns to regain control over Yemen, while providing valuable insight into the process of pacification in this critical corner of Arabia. |

Pagina 129 - Memo on the Turkish claims to sovereignty over the eastern shores of the Red Sea and the whole of Arabia and on the Egyptian claim to the whole of the western shore of the same sea including the African coast from Suez to Cape Guardafui, Foreign Office, 5. 3. 1874. p. 33-4. Copies in R20/A1A/643, L/P & S/18/B8 and FO78/3187.
Pagina 36 - Husayn's calibre to abide by them was neither logical nor reasonable. It is doubtful if the British themselves expected the sultan's government to accept them. Aden was already their choice as principal base in south Arabia; and if they could extract favourable terms for Mocha, so much the better. Otherwise they were prepared to withdraw from Mocha. Meanwhile, they could preoccupy Husayn with Mocha and divert his attention away from Aden until such time as they might end his administration altogether....
Pagina 33 - Jiddah treated British demands at Mocha as unreasonable and in contravention of Ottoman sovereign rights. He regarded them an insult to 'the Padishah [sultan] and Islam'. He attributed the incident to the illegal raising of the British flag at Mocha, implying extra-territorial privileges not formally granted by the sultan. He regretted the scuffle at the viceconsul's residence and the subsequent indignities suffered by his person. The vali...
Pagina 46 - Husayn was sincere in his loyalty to the sultan and that the problems confronting him were not all of his own making. Since he was short of revenue, it was recommended that he offer a bedel (equivalent) in coffee and sugar. To appease merchants it was further decreed that no taxes be levied on goods shipped to the Hijaz from...
Pagina 33 - Tihamah were too poor to bid. issued an edict preventing Christians (mostly European traders) from riding in or near Mocha, and confined their entry and exit to one gate only. This he professedly did as an agent of the sultan's government, hence it was necessary to refer the matter to Istanbul for satisfaction. The report of the vali of Hijaz (overseer of Yemen) from Jiddah treated British demands at Mocha as unreasonable and in contravention of Ottoman sovereign rights. He regarded them an insult...
Pagina 49 - The assault on the port towns occasioned considerable hardship for their residents and merchants who, in a number of petitions to the Sublime Porte, complained of their trade being brutally disrupted and of the hardships visited upon their families, forcing a good number of traders to flee the land for as far north as...
Pagina 50 - Hodeida, where he held out for the next 28 days waiting for help that never arrived. Mediators arranged his surrender of the entire area between Bayt alFaqTh and Mocha to the imam and his allies, but this area had been legally assigned to Husayn to administer by provisions of an imperial decree and could not be reassigned without orders from the sultan. Hence, the Emir of Mocha should still be considered the legal administrator of the Tihamah.
Pagina 195 - Biilow notified his ambassador in Rome that Italy, as an ally of Germany, should make no commitment or concession to England in exchange for support in the Red Sea because of her negative attitude towards the railroad scheme.
Pagina 26 - Govt. cannot permit him to establish his naval and military power on the shores of the Persian Gulf, and that if he should persevere in such projects, he must expect that a British force will dispossess him from any naval station at which he may attempt to establish himself...
Pagina 38 - What is interesting about this whole exercise in sovereignty determination is that it would not have taken place had it not been for the claims the East India Board, and specifically the Bombay government, made against Husayn, 'the Emir of Mocha'.
