History, Upper Yafea
Upper Yafa,
Upper Yafa'i (Yāfi al-Ulyā), or the Sultanate of
Upper Yafa (Salṭanat Yāfi al-Ulyā), was a state
in the British Aden Protectorate and the
Protectorate of South Arabia. It was ruled by
the Harharah dynasty and its capital was
Mahjaba. Within its area were the sheikhdoms of
Busi, Dhubi, Hadrami, Maflahi, and Mausatta.
In the 1960s,
Upper Yafa did not join the British-sponsored
Federation of South Arabia but became a part of
the Protectorate of South Arabia. It was
abolished in 1967 upon the founding of the
People's Republic of South Yemen and is now part
of the Republic of Yemen.
