  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Men, Matters and Memories 1960
    Men, Matters and Memories By M.A. Lokman – Advocate Editor – in – chief Supervision, Edition, Compilation and Introduction by: Professor Ahmed Ali AlHamdani Foreword Knowledge is the only path to salvation, abundant education is the strongest basis for the equality of nations, their appreciation for each other Muhammad Ali Luqman I thought of writing an introduction to my father’s book which is the only one of his writings published in English so far. The book, ‘Men, Matters and Memories’ is a collection of memories that father used to publish each week in his English newspaper, ‘The Aden Chronicle’; they date from 1960, 1961, 1962. Other articles in the series sadly have either been lost or are in too poor a condition, ancient, and fragile to be retyped ready for publication. My father used the spelling of his name as Lokman in all his English writings. It was almost 40 years after my father’s passing when, the project of collecting, archiving, and publishing his papers, books, photographs, speeches, and radio recordings, was initiated by my brother Maher Muhammed Ali Luqman. He had managed to rescue a large amount of the material already but through publicity and reward he collected other works that had been lost. This initial stage took a lot of time, money, and effort but once completed Maher approached Dr Ahmed Ali Alhamadani and invited him to take on the next stage of researching the material and preparing it for printing and publication. This was also a time consuming, costly, and dedicated effort which has meant that father’s works are now available to anyone who wishes to access his legacy.

  • British Nation-Building in Aden
    CASE STUDY NO. 10 COMPLEX OPERATIONS CASE STUDIES SERIES The Road to Good Intentions: British Nation-building in Aden Scott Smitson KAREN GUTTIERI SERIES EDITOR Naval Postgraduate School COMPLEX OPERATIONS CASE STUDIES SERIES Complex operations encompass stability, security, transition and recon- struction, and counterinsurgency operations and operations consisting of irregular warfare (United States Public Law No 417, 2008). Stability opera- tions frameworks engage many disciplines to achieve their goals, including establishment of safe and secure environments, the rule of law, social well- being, stable governance, and sustainable economy. A comprehensive approach to complex operations involves many elements—governmental and nongovernmental, public and private—of the international community or a “whole of community” effort, as well as engagement by many different components of government agencies, or a “whole of government” approach. Taking note of these requirements, a number of studies called for incentives to grow the field of capable scholars and practitioners, and the development of resources for educators, students and practitioners. A 2008 United States Institute of Peace study titled “Sharing the Space” specifically noted the need for case studies and lessons. Gabriel Marcella and Stephen Fought argued for a case-based approach to teaching complex operations in the pages of Joint Forces Quarterly, noting “Case studies force students into the problem; they put a face on history and bring life to theory.” We developed this series

Consultant, WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, Alexandria, Egypt Deputy Director, Bilharziasis Control Section, Egyptian Ministry of Health Manuscript received in February 1955 SYNOPSIS A survey of bilharziasis and its vectors in certain countries of north-east Africa and of the Red Sea area, carried out between December 1951 and February 1952, is described within the frame- work of a review of the somewhat scattered and incomplete informa- tion already available on this subject in the literature. Clinical inquiry and microscopic examination of random stool and urine specimens were used to obtain data on the endemicity of the disease, and many samples of suspect mollusc vectors of Schistosoma haema- tobium and S. mansoni were collected from varied habitats and sub- sequently classified. A section on malacology discusses the difficulties of systematization of the African freshwater snails. The need for a fuller investigation of human incidence, particularly in the inland and highland districts, is stressed, and the author suggests measures for the control of vectors, sanitation of water channels, prophylaxis of the disease, health education and legislation, and biological and chemical research. He draws the conclusion that the future economy of these countries depends upon the joint efforts of the physician, the malacologist, the chemist, and the engineer in controlling the spread of bilharziasis from the highly endemic areas to regions where its incidence is still slight. Between December 1951 and February 1952, the author visited British Somaliland, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, the Sudan, and Yemen, as part of the WHO-sponsored bilharziasis survey programme initiated in 1949.

  • Airpower in the Aden Protectorate
    AIRPOWER IN THE ADEN PROTECTORATE by *- JAMES GILBERT ALLEN B. A., Drury College, 1966 A MASTER'S REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement! for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 1968 Approved by: Major Professor ID ftu CA PREFACE Since the end of the 1939-1945 World War, Britain's presence on the land area of the Middle East has been steadily reduced. By studying the military techniques, the how of British presence in South Arabia, rather than the political why of that presence, it is hoped that certain lessons might be derived that will act as keys to any study of such security operations in the area. An attempt has been made to limit the consi- derations solely to the area of South Arabia. However, descriptions of military actions which Involve the expendi- ture of wealth and manpower, can never attain the dignity of history un- less larger political and social factors are weighed in the balance as well. Military operations do not exist in a vacuum. The effects of outmoded military techniques and thinking are usually, though not always, fatal. Such shortcomings are evident in the South Arabian operations studied, though each campaign was properly considered successful. The British position deteriorated becauae of Ideological and nationalistic pressures, and not because of military impotence. The very successes that failed to maintain an imperial power in South Arabia are worthy of study if future events in the newly independent states are to be fully Interpreted. It is hoped that this report will point up, not only areas for further research, but some of the basic facts of the situation in South Arabia.

  • 2. Air Power and Empire in the Arabian Peninsula
    Full citation: J.E. Peterson. Defending Arabia, Chapter 2: Air Power and Empire in the Arabian Peninsula. Online edition from www.JEPeterson.net (posted September 2000) Originally published as: J.E. Peterson. Defending Arabia. London: Croom Helm; New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1986. N.B. The text in this online edition has not been updated from the originally published version. CHAPTER 2: POWER AND EMPIRE IN THE ARABIAN PENINSULA For most of the lifespan of the British Empire, the Arabian Peninsula was only of peripheral imperial interest. Despite the steady tightening of British control over the centuries, the Gulf and Peninsula had never been a principal objective but a means to an end, viz. securing the approaches to India. But several decades into the present century, this was changing. In the words of Lord Wavell, Viceroy of India, "There are two main material factors in the revolutionary change that has come over the strategical face of Asia. One is air power, the other is oil."1 The discovery and exploitation of oil in the Gulf has been the more important and permanent factor catapulting the region into global attention, but the necessities of air communications and air power were first responsible for British concern with the security of the Arabian Peninsula itself. Not long after the technology of air power had been developed, it was applied to Arabia.
