Telegram From the Department of State to the Embassy in the People’s Republic of Southern Yemen1 Washington, February 27, 1969, 1710Z. 30762. Subj: US–PRSY Relations. 1. PRSY UN Perm Rep Nu’man,2 who currently in Washington as PRSYG observer at INTELSAT Conference, had frank but cordial talk with ARP Country Director Brewer February 26. 2. In analyzing causes existing coolness in USG–PRSYG relations, Ambassador Nu’man claimed USG failure offer substantial aid at time of independence and subsequent seizure of American arms with clasped hands insignia3 in possession of anti-PRSYG dissidents had led Aden to “natural” conclusion that USG distrusts PRSYG. He specu- lated this due to close US relationship with Saudis whom Nu’man al- leged, somewhat vaguely, had privately conveyed threats to overthrow NLF regime, claiming USG support. Nu’man asserted PRSYG desired good relations with USG and hoped USG would reciprocate. 3. Recalling history of USG attempts to develop good relations with PRSYG, Brewer underlined our feeling it was PRSYG which had not re- ciprocated. He reviewed our position re non-interference PRSY internal affairs, regretting publicity anti-USG charges (e.g. re arms) without first seeking our explanation. Brewer noted USG seeks maintain friendly relations with Saudi Arabia as well as PRSYG but we not responsible for foreign policy of either. 4. Nu’man reiterated SAG responsible poor state Saudi-PRSY con- tacts. Brewer demurred, noting SAG had good reasons be concerned over hostile attitude PRSYG leaders.

The coastline stretches for about 2,000 km (1,200 mi). It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, the Red Sea to the west, the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea to the south, and Oman to the east. Its capital and largest city is Sana'a. Yemen's territory includes more than 200 islands. The largest of these is Socotra, which is about 354 km (220 mi) to the south of mainland Yemen. Geographically, Yemen stretches from the desert sands of the Rub' al Khali to mountain peaks 3,660 meters above sea levels, and drops back down to the coast of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

  • Hydraulic Interpretation of Direct Velocity Measurements in the Bab Al Mandab*
    NOVEMBER 1999 PRATT ET AL. 2769 Hydraulic Interpretation of Direct Velocity Measurements in the Bab al Mandab* L. J. PRATT Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts WILLIAM JOHNS Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Miami, Miami, Florida STEPHEN P. M URRAY Coastal Studies Institute, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana KATSUROU KATSUMATA Department of Earth and Planetary Physics, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan (Manuscript received 5 February 1997, in ®nal form 14 October 1998) ABSTRACT Acoustic Doppler Current Pro®ler velocity measurements in the Bab al Mandab during the period June 1995± March 1996 are used to assess the hydraulic character of the exchange ¯ow. The strait is 150 km long and contains two distinct geometrical choke points: the Hanish sill and Perim narrows. The authors use a three-layer approximation of the monthly mean velocity and density structure at the sill and narrows to calculate the phase speeds of the ®rst and second internal, long gravity waves. The ®rst (second) mode is generally characterized by in-phase (out-of-phase) motions of the two interfaces. The calculations take cross-strait topographic variations into consideration by using a piecewise linear representation of the actual bottom. The resulting phase speeds are used to determine whether the ¯ow is subcritical, supercritical, or critical with respect to the ®rst and second modes. Subcritical (supercritical) means that the two wave pairs corresponding to a given mode propagate in opposite (the same) directions, whereas ``critical'' means that one or both members of a pair has zero phase speed. Critical or supercritical conditions are indications of hydraulic control and imply that signal propagation through the strait associated with a particular mode can occur in only one direction, or perhaps not at all.

Non-geographical relevant circumstances: fishing, security, principle of non-encroachment — Relevance of fishing in acceptance or rejecting the argument as to the line of delimitation: location of fishing areas, economic dependency on fishing, effect of fishing practices on the lines of delimitation — "catastrophic" and "long usage" tests — "artisanal fishing", "industrial fish- ing", and associated rights. The drawing of the initial boundary line does not depend on the existence and the protec- tion of the traditional fishing regime.
