Description: Short border clashes between rival groups in Yemen and then between Yemeni states and their leaders resulting in rapprochement and negotiations. The sophisticated business community, the activist trade unions, and other similarly modern political and social organizations in Aden feared for their future at the hands of what they perceived to be a group of largely illiterate and parochial tribal leaders from the backward rural protectorates.
