i. during t.v. address from the 1970 s. the audience is the people of yemen and the speaker is the president of the yemen. that. this message is one of unity that our country divided can heal its differences and move forward.

that. president's ambition would be fulfilled within a few years however brutal events at a banquet would end up reshaping the course of yemen's history. but there. again.

this is the story of a murder an assassination that took place over 40 years ago the killing occurred in the yemeni city of sanaa and the victim was none other than the country's president ibrahim. it's a murder that still resonates today in a nation that is still deeply divided and it all its with its neighbors. in this film. from al-jazeera arabic will reveal a chain of events that is in every sense stranger than fiction a timeline to the political assassination of president. a killing that took place on an october day in 1977. even though while hamdi was assassinated over 4 decades ago all recent protests

have evoked to the memory of the dead leader here in 2011 protesters against yemeni president ali abdullah saleh hark back to times past. how at the end of the leave it at that after a day men met the case yes obsessed something along the manner and. how in the you know i read that after a man. and the end of the howell and he was so scary and to them what has. who are not yet have a sort of we'll be telling him oh it might have been what i said at the end of our look at the style of a chemical or development and. hyundai defined what it meant to be a yemeni because there's an entire generation of yemenis who's looking for their humvee their humvee who defined what it meant to be a yemeni who defined with the yemeni state and everyone is looking for that today

and we ask where is our humvee what set all family apart from leaders before and after him was that he bore the personal charisma of a reformer and a modern asked his country north vietnam was divided from its neighbor in the sun's authority lay not in the hands of central government but with a number of powerful tribes. saw himself as a force that could unite a divided country. and none of that even now we. will have had as always i'll watch that isn't it. while of the way that i've had my life and have like a low number. as have a canner your comic book well brought up a well back i have i'm well. really help i like theatre the guest said that he should look at the real me

a man nothe. cream he. you've got a little more green or so out of libya you know. i'm going to home. while yemen has never been as prosperous as its gulf neighbors it does occupy an important strategic position at the mouth of the red sea. historically yemen had been ruled by and divided between the ottoman and british empires the north declared independence in 1962 and the south in 19673 years later south yemen would become the only marxist country in the region allying itself with the soviet union. meanwhile ibrahim a humvee was becoming a rising star of yemeni politics in 1992 he was transferred from a mid ranking military role to become deputy prime minister and later that same

year deputy commander in chief of the armed forces 2 years later our humvee emerged as the figurehead of the self-proclaimed corrective movement a manifesto for an imminent crude atar. andy hiller. calander is live as a result i callate letter has a go at that and then they allow to start the press have. so over the year. they yell handy fee as i was allowed back at the umbrella handy goodbye there over the. latitudes. on the 13th of june 19 17400 made his move this british embassy cable from the north yemen capital sanaa reported the resignation of the event president. there were other high profile

resignations on that day clearing the decks for the arrival of a new president the transition was bloodless and for the 1st time a modernizer was at the helm of the yemen arab republic. i mean it's the colorful where drama really let there be a shade of you but i haven't had what i gathered. yet and it was honorable of the last 11 from the assume we dearly helena to cut the bit damp damage to america's core limb to cut the amount of the living hell of the lot whenever you take women act as war there's only one coffee visit our work at the level we're going to have him the war sorry the lebanese that are in the. the love the simple dollar. it was $974.00 and president al hunt his victory celebrations were short lived his

1st priority was to build confidence with neighboring saudi arabia a country that was bigger more powerful and far wealthier than impoverished north yemen humvee's 1st official visit was to the saudi capital riyadh aiming to maintain good relations yet reduce dependence on saudi arabia who wield it considerable influence over yemen's powerful times. as the incoming president our humvee was walking a tightrope his instinct as a modernizer was to bring the reins of power into the capital but that meant wrestling control from the tribes who had traditionally run yemen. one of. those to create a modern armed force that would not be organized tribally would be composed of units that were mixed personnel that would therefore be loyal to the

chain of command rather than the particular chefs. have are going to be. very active and can welcome and i will be and i'll get a lot out. of the a lot of it but i have. doubts. that. on the 27th of april 975 president al hamdi issued a decree which effectively centralized control of the army. no longer would tribes wield great influence over the military the new power brokers would be on hamdi and army officers loyal to the new president. then the mother facetiously asked listen to the talk of the most human being. possible human problems in the field we're looking. to her to put into the hands to

bear would you would. manage this block how to let them sell a habit so i would do it with a definite let them sell half. that effort to get out it's about. how he how he'd allow themselves i demand that the and just let them sell how lovely the family get the black shetland. yemen in the 1970 s. was desperately poor and kept afloat by foreign aid hungry believed that this dependence on aid fundamentally weakens both parts of yemen be formulated a 5 year development plan harnessing local co-operatives their goal to economically place yemen on its own 2 feet. when every mile hamdi came to power in $974.00 as

a charismatic figure a populous with a clear political plan and he knew that in order to bring about the kind of changes that he wanted to see in the country that it was necessary to strengthen government institutions. and i think his vision was to build upon the success of these local cooperative associations he was certainly the 1st one to express a vision of using the cooperatives as a national organization and a way to build up a national political base. from the cooperative movement. if

you. will if. he thought would be that kind of december could do nothing and if you. have a good. kind of. beyond the borders of north yemen continue to develop international relations including with the soviet union who had close ties with neighboring south yemen in march $977.00 regional security top the agenda at a red sea summit meeting in the yemeni city of tire it's being claimed that the

a north yemeni leader to the marxist regime in the south humvee however would not live to keep this appointment. sadie mean with all sort of how do you know. it differs. and you can learn what i don't. know yet and then. i won't and that is hurting the some of the could i thought about i had to work guernica philip and come to talk about the hidden meaning you can get in and out but he got a lot of that is that it doesn't have it in a magic that power what it to come what it must and that is why i have gotten it in time it was an alice that be the lair miss alice as well as how he'd a limited that if a yemeni government is what that land levy gonna be tallied election i wish that i got into one actual janabi not a lot done in a shuttle issue mally well let's. say

humvee german appear to be on a fast track to unification one of supporters welcomed the idea some domestic opponents and a more powerful neighbor viewed the prospect with less enthusiasm the saudi role in yemen has always been complex. has always been complicating the saudis did not like condi in the end toward the end they saw him as independent of them of course they saw him as perhaps threatening because he was able to consolidate the country behind him very difficult thing to do in yemen. and he also had particular international efforts to try and rope the relationship with the south yemen and of the saudis would be very. anxious if there were any moves to unify the country all good days ahead meat and no. doubt about me my

short. and what any any other would mean not sure that i have any. good enough so if that is so the. and yet. you give and she'd. make it and machine mini me. not wanting to risk alienating the country's neighbor president all hamdi flew to saudi arabia his aim to reassure the saudis that his desire was to forge a new relationship one that looked toward shared and prosperous future according to president al homsi spokesman to accompany the leader the visit ended prematurely. never has an event at the military. which. later

a lot of. how they're going to have a lot of can my habitats out the other living a 3rd of them of that i've heard of or buy from you for free if that there are open the saudis then resorted to their most favorite and most. tried and true i hate to say true it wasn't but which is to pay off give money to those tribes that they thought would support them and what it meant was create problems for the central government in this case humpty to try to keep him from becoming too strong and i think in the end they just decided he was a threat and decided to remove it. says he was in the latter willingly if he's got a set of certainty can enter and has and it's only. the latin america the levee

to. blame and it's an out of the national. i would like to sort out while i will not i will. let another lemon governor. galli egypt and if i listen to rush me or not know why i did it in early gatlin little english me big whether it be yellow with the will get at him an ear. closer to brandy or can with i'm an academician who cannot govern as i lead the last battle actually collective was sucked out of and i got elena with a such a deployment and the ethnos will not get a measure. president are handy however dismissed suggestions that the army commanders are hashmi was plotting against him he argued quite the opposite that all hashmi had been consistently loyal to him throughout his presidency.

by the commander can you be a priority for him and how do you know what you know what and then it would go i could have a no know how i look at the bit with no question. why. he would have even happen near for the. crimean quickly read the memo to get it i think we had to learn how did you happen to have it this way. in their local medical and. of course at about 7 eleventh's hour the stuff that i was a lot of how do you have 11 that are all magic afia have you any. idea what a loss on our one number that i should question me supper. for but i will and the what i can and know are that with me who are the serger if they were at the lead. in part 2 our humvees friends is deadly rivals and the enemies who posed as friends.

a bit of him off comedy was in his 3rd year as president of north yemen the aim to modernize the country but face internal opposition some suspected army commander madoff hashmi of plotting against him. 9 months had passed since president a humvee had met his southern counterpart it was approaching the 14th of october and the 2 leaders were due to meet an agent for what many expected would be an important announcement about reunification of north and south yemen. had a so if you have the allegation we'd like to have the i that. can have more a lie of about him the a lie that while there is no idea that they have the kind i was shocked at the how they got out to him. so far to the how without commuter commuter that never no longer the poor what a sad little way out. according

to now declassified us state department documents me invited al hamdu to lunch at his home in sanaa it was billed as a celebration to mark the return to the capital of yemen's prime minister who'd been receiving medical treatment abroad. humvee was late and at 130 in the afternoon al-hashmi called the president to remind him of the invitation and the importance of attending. that i do say and that i will all be you will thank me in that majesty about that and then i will make the american billionaire we have much less have an id i don't say. that there. i there and then you were. one of the 1st to arrive at what became known as the lost lunch was abdullah. a senior army officer and brother of the president

the host me had assembled a guest list that was a who's who of yemen's leadership amongst the dignitaries was ali abdullah saleh commander of the thai iis military brigade and a future president. to find out more mana came from al jazeera arabic went to paris to meet with a humvee spokesman at the time all the spokesman was not at the lunch he did speak to a key eyewitness. in the well who is your handle and i live alone american dad of flesh and had the luck. clearly known kind of. community day you hear what i'm going to say about us and you can end the week in a. video on recovery will either have a very handy. in the house video and cover. immaculata.

according to the eyewitness as the bodyguards waited outside our humvee was welcomed by all cost me and ali abdullah saleh both yemeni presidents in waiting our humvees good fortune was about to run out. in america but i am and i am be. me cannot be alarmed. but 330 gallon i thought. that about a no not. novel and here i am only a deadlock and yeah you know. what can you hear. about our race i can go my. unless you return some undercover but i don't know how long you've been what with all i know about work well like i'll be a part of our 1st from of the little cabin from barbara where we had the.

little. gal of development. and get the. sheriff. local make then why oh. who. carlo. live. you know what i meant but didn't have any color and if you're going to have a screen feel. and initiation do. what the. family. have and do with. this you have the al and the welcome back well if they got to do that then you could not have been an issue out if he knew he has a little to. the point where all family walks through the door is where the account

gets murky where facts give way to fearing and speculation it's a story with different endings depending on the story teller the guests were expecting to bid al hunt a farewell given that the president was due to fly to aden for all important talks with his southern counterpart the next day as minutes turn to hours bodyguards became increasingly concerned and yet i hope i don't buy that they'd make you any bad. hot out the law let majo. fogel cover ahead of what i have almost no law would owe her a home at east. well i hope that i don't read that. genevieve had thought my live a good salary. less as a. lot of i got than i have. come to my life. since that is that there

was a. lab out there that. negative i don't know how that i even though yeah well. i'm glad we got you know who can drive a muscle and i know gad have a lot of alice obama's habit of crap at. the president's bodyguards were left wondering how all hamdi could have been assassinated while in the company of his most trusted political allies what should have been a lunch celebration had become a crime scene so what happened that afternoon and who may have been responsible most of those present on that day have since died indeed a number would themselves be murdered later there are clues however to be found in the archives of western embassies who closely followed events in yemen in 19771

american account attributed to all crush me who would before the day's end assume the presidency claimed that unidentified gunman had shot al hamdi while in his car . another more euro to count said that al hamdi and his brother had rented a small house hideaway that they had picked up 2 french girls and that somehow both brothers had been murdered not only had the president been killed but it appeared that his character was also under assassination. i'll bet they live we had forgot they were in the country had other what happened then in get can wear away in. a wagon with a laugh or the main american day. and one of the french connection the 2 women who were said to have been with the

brothers not only did the exist but they were indeed murdered in yemen around the same time as president are harmed their names were verily twat and france was screened on. verily twa had a glamorous lifestyle enjoying the company of film directors in france as glitzy riviera to some she was a high class call go to others she was a spot. to lose it in want of a tom cat. duncan on if she can't or pointless i mean. could you if you don't get past it probably paled of only chua actually most of your mocked him if you put it back if you don't if you're only caught in a trance she's caught it get past your you man. a few need to look at is not a locker never you know it was a nuclear man. one of my very good yemeni friends mohammed shami was

a diplomat. and he was. and a friend of his were in the embassy in paris her fanny was the person who recruited. these 2 prostitutes and had them then and sent them to yemen and i remember her as sami he also cried when he told me that story he was a true believer in the brain and how in the end the role that al handy. was going to hopefully play in the development of yemen so 100 family just thought terrible that he had been the person who had recruited these 2 prostitutes prostitutes who were then killed and thrown into a room with the brothers in order to bring shame in.

this respect the respect upon the 100 brothers their family. is the most sort of not. in this into fam. question kitty but you are more. cog the does a fair you mean the ballot book. you don't agree you know the more there was a miss you are the last measure get there miss the thought of contrail a key review on the. line although i was told they say don't dummies and their demeanor icky marco patients they're more calm or fair to. say the farmer. men. who are open or close it

doesn't give it the shots they decide to miss you are more easily is it a party off that you ever did to plan their alliance. on this galaxy now suite. is it possible to ever find 12 happen. i was a humvee murder and who benefited from his assassination there are several firies no hard facts are in short supply. for the less. valuable us or less a lover co we'll that feeling isn't. alive those other 11 do or that is. a good little theory. it will be a no actually i mean read the choice but i doubt that assad or one of them that had been ill gotten me. back and i got to know how to get away from the question.

also on the list of suspects for tribal enemies opposed to our humvees a rouge in their power others suspected the hand of saudi arabia so i have never asked him how that's going. on a whole day and then thought it had been thought of him who had law and i have asked that it come of a flower she did know so while i was looking at it i was at it i saw the best i liked best yet i sat and i ask that he get me that a lot of you are thinking of a mile and well i think that the saudis decided to get rid of the simply because they saw him as getting too strong and. undercutting their influence in yemen. able to counter their traditional way of dealing with tribes. 2 weeks after the murder saudi arabia issued an official statement categorically denying

any involvement in the hyundai's assassination. the denial came after claims within yemen including by a number of foreign diplomats that individual saudis may have been involved in the assassination albeit in directly. their suspicion was that those who benefited most from the crime had links to saudi arabia. the widespread view what i heard from yemeni contacts friends in private of course was that these assassinate this hassidim hamdi was. it was a saudi run operation using yemenis who were in their pay or. people that don't would do their beckoning among those was crushed me and certainly

only dulles allah of the celebs the colonel and ta is. no one was ever charged with the murder neither al-hashmi nor stalin evident met at any point in the death of all found. me died just a few months off towards us for ali abdullah saleh he became president in 1978 and would later point the finger of blame at saudi arabia. which it will not own and eat and i love a lot of ethanol as. a domino i have. myself i like hitler and want to laugh at it. so that you know you can hide eat and you only at the at least don't do much talk on the deck and yet have it effie but he had the deck and he. was. the al-jazeera arabic examination of the death of a bit of a mile from d.c.

has uncovered numerous documents and heard testimony from many who were in yemen in the 1970 s. these include the deputy ambassador at the u.s. mission in yemen who arrived in sanaa 2 months after the murder of a humvee he diplomatic cables from the time have been released others remain under lock and key the reasons why the government might not declassify which is that is the word to make it public would be perhaps there are intelligence sources really there are quotes or connections with individuals who are still alive who might be compromised by what's in the message could be american intelligence people because the yemeni political figures that would be one reason why you might not do it the 2nd might be that there is something in the message which would undermine our relationship it was with another country. another cable this time declassified from

british diplomats in saudi arabia in 1977 sheds further details on the denial of saudi volved it was in response to news agency reports in the region and to a bulletin on radio moscow. the statement added that saudi arabia would stand by those they refer to as their brothers in yemen recognizing the close ties between al homsi and saudi arabia. breaking the news to the yemeni people that their president had been killed was a task that fell to al hunt his official spokesman. he was summoned to the office of all hashmi the recently installed president and asked to draft a statement the result was an announcement that was high on emotion and low on details. i would never do. east usually in mono you

know. who know if you have certain her. and they get collagen emotional and then i will look at the how difficult work and library warholian if you look at who has had it who are who literally. badly look to go for can. have a fever. they work they are highly. consider that she said at the event that she had this look you had that the crew had a swoop like that can come and tipped over so we're going to like that i guess how october this would go into the neck i was in the. bad bad. 7 now back to gilligan and we love. you i shall be here many ok. now what the peabody came

out and i'm going to go with. the coverage all morning it. has to shut me up but i was. never. home share this young man and that's when you get. enough money. i mean you need a. lot of here. either you. or. i don't know but. i get. the reaction from the international community to the assassination was muted there well regrets and sympathy expressed but little else it became a sunday had been marked world was missing or.

because they learned with a great sorrow the tragic death of the president of the arab republic of yemen he's excellent to see you bring him mohammad out humvee because we must walk a lot of b.s. and let the i would really but it is kind of putting at that the other shot what do and you know what the jump. be a leader many. many. buckley i walk if you like it well more. people now have a good habit. and let me i would be. the host of what became known as the last lunch cost me assumed office and succeeded to the presidency his tenure however was short lived just 8 months into his term he
