You're probably right about this conversation with Kirkbride taking place in 1949.<br /><br />However, Aden is usually considered part of Yemen and is a part of it today. Which of course does not prevent a very bloody war taking place now in Yemen involved a variety of peaceloving factions.<br />In the 1940s, Aden and its hinterland were under British control and separate from the rest of Yemen. The question is how did the UK forces in Aden handle the pogrom there.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-23441433553098201852016-04-10T20:48:46.760+01:002016-04-10T20:48:46.760+01:00Therefore, according to Sadat, the Allied victory ...Therefore, according to Sadat, the Allied victory in the war was owing to those Egyptian Jews who informed to the British.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-89282842603300524662016-04-10T20:47:13.767+01:002016-04-10T20:47:13.767+01:00". . . the Jewish refugees did not engage in ...<br />". . . the Jewish refugees did not engage in subversion and terrorism against their host countries; did not join invading military forces, which aimed to destroy their host countries; and did not collaborate with Nazi Germany."<br /><br />The Jews' opposition to Nazi Germany angered some of the Arab nationalists who saw help for the British as betrayal.
