Yemenis commemorate victory over British colonialism

The October 14, 1963 revolution was launched in the southern regions of Yemen against British colonialism. It was launched from the Radfan Mountains under the leadership of Rajeh bin Ghalib Labouza, who was martyred on the day of the revolution.

The colonial forces launched military campaigns that lasted for six months, during which they bombarded the peaceful villages and residents with various weapons, which led to the displacement of thousands of defenseless civilians.

In their attacks and raids on Radfan, the British forces pursued a scorched-earth policy, leaving behind a humanitarian catastrophe. Every year, Yemenis celebrate the anniversary of the revolution against British colonialism to commemorate this day.
