Treaty of Ta’ef imposed on Yemen by Abdul-Aziz Aal-e Saud

Compiled By: Syed Ali Shahbaz
On May 20, 1934 AD, the one-sided Treaty of Ta'ef was imposed on Imam Yahya of Yemen by Abdul-Aziz Aal-e Saud, ruler of the British created state called Saudi Arabia, according to which the regions of Najran, Jeezan, and Asir were occupied for a period of 40 years. In the 1990s, Yemen demanded the return of these vast territories, but with American backing Saudi Arabia has refused to return them in violation of the Treaty of Ta'ef.
Earlier Abdul-Aziz had seized the Hijaz and after violent massacres in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and the port city of Jeddah, blasphemously destroyed the holy shrines in the sacred Jannat al-Baqie Cemetery. The Saudis are also in occupation of the oil-rich eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula on the Persian Gulf against the wishes of the local people.
