National Front for the Liberation of Southern Yemen

The National Front for the Liberation of Southern Yemen (NFLY) was a political and military movement active during the 1960s and 1970s. It aimed to end British colonial rule in the southern part of Yemen, which was then known as the Federation of South Arabia. The NFLY was part of the broader struggle for independence in the region, ultimately contributing to the establishment of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen in 1967. This organization played a significant role in defining southern Yemen's political landscape during a time of decolonization and regional change.
