Al-Waziri Coup
The al-Waziri coup ( ), also known as the Yahya clan coup, was a violent dynasty overthrow attempt in the Kingdom of Yemen in 1948, which caused around 5,000 fatalities. During the coup attempt, Imam Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din, the ruler of the kingdom, was assassinated and the rival Sayyid family, the al-Wazirs, seized power for several weeks. Backed by the al-Saud family of Saudi Arabia, the Hamidaddins restored their rule. After the al-Wazirs were deposed, Imam Yahya's monarchy was restored with his son, Ahmad bin Yahya, ascending the throne. Background On 30 October 1918, amidst the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, Imam Yahya Muhammad Hamid ad-Din of the al-Qasimi dynasty declared northern Yemen an independent state.

1955 Yemeni Coup Attempt
The 1955 Yemeni coup attempt was a failed coup d'etat in which soldiers led by Colonel Ahmad Yahya al-Thulaya attempted to overthrow Imam Ahmad bin Yahya, who had ruled the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen since 1948. Background In 1948, the Al-Waziri Coup attempted to overthrow the dynasty ruling the kingdom, and succeeded in assassinating then-Imam Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din, Ahmad bin Yahya's father. Around 5,000 people were killed in the coup, which ended with loyalist forces regaining control and Ahmad becoming Imam. In 1954, Ahmad named his eldest son Muhammad al-Badr as Crown Prince. However, Ahmad's younger brother al-Hassan publicly criticized his choice of al-Badr, leading to confrontations between supporters of the two rivals. Saudi Arabia's King Saud attempted to mediate between the rival factions, pushing for recognition of al-Badr. It was in this heated environment that Colonel al-Thulaya decided to launch a coup, with the intent of placing another of the Imam ...

June 13 Corrective Movement
The June 13 Corrective Movement (), also known as just the June 13th Movement or 1974 Yemeni coup, was a bloodless military coup in Yemen Arab Republic. The coup marked the end of civilian rule and brought to power a newly created military junta led by the officer Ibrahim al-Hamdi. The new regime began an unprecedented series of social, political, economic and military reforms.

Background On 26 September 1962, Nasserist officers led by Abdullah al-Sallal, with Egyptian support, staged a coup against the Yemeni monarchy and King Muhammad al-Badr. Badr survived and was able to organize his supporters outside the capital, leading them to fight against the instigators of the coup.

South Yemen Civil War
The South Yemeni crisis, colloquially referred to in Yemen as the events of '86, was a failed coup d'etat and brief civil war which took place on January 13, 1986, in South Yemen. The civil war developed as a result of ideological differences, and later tribal tensions, between two factions of the ruling Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP), centred on Abdul Fattah Ismail's faction, at-Toghmah, and Ali Nasir Muhammad's faction, az-Zomrah, for the leadership of the YSP and South Yemen. The conflict quickly escalated into a costly civil war that lasted eleven days and resulted in thousands of casualties. Additionally, the conflict resulted in the demise of much of the Yemeni Socialist Party's most experienced socialist leadership Cadre (politics), cadre, contributing to a much weaker government and the country's eventual unification with Yemen Arab Republic, North Yemen in 1990.
