Yemeni Armed Forces in the context of Yemeni Navy

Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi (born 1 September 1945) is a Yemeni politician and former military officer who served as the second president of Yemen from 2012 until his resignation in 2022. He previously served as the second vice president of Yemen from 1994 to 2012 under President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Hadi was previously the field marshal of the Yemeni Armed Forces. Between 4 June and 23 September 2011, Hadi was the Acting-president of Yemen while Ali Abdullah Saleh was undergoing medical treatment in Saudi Arabia following an attack on the presidential palace during the 2011 Yemeni uprising. On 23 November, he became Acting President again, after Saleh moved into a non-active role pending the presidential election "in return for immunity from prosecution". Hadi was "expected to form a national unity government and also call for early presidential elections within 90 days" while Saleh continued to serve as president in name only.

The 1967 North Yemen coup d'état was a bloodless overthrow of President Abdullah al-Sallal on November 5, 1967 in the Yemen Arab Republic. Yemeni dissidents and tribal forces carried out the coup, acting with the quiet approval of Sallal's main backer Nasserist Egypt.

This was due to a major shift in Egyptian foreign policy. Following the heavy defeat in the Six-Day War, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser lost much of his desire for costly foreign military adventures, including the war in North Yemen. Nasser announced plans to pull back from such commitments. In August 1967, Egypt and Saudi Arabia signed a peace agreement in Khartoum, requiring Egypt to completely withdraw its forces from Yemen. Egypt began pulling its troops out even before the agreement was fully implemented, completing the withdrawal by the end of the year. Reportedly, Nasser himself advised Sallal to step down and leave the country. When Sallal refused and instead flew to Baghdad seeking alternative support for his government, Nasser sent instructions to the remaining Egyptian troops in Yemen: they were not to intervene if the North Yemeni army moved against Sallal.
