Audhali (Arabic:
العوذلي
al-ʿAwdhalī or العواذل
al-ʿAwādhal), or the
Audhali Sultanate (Arabic: سلطنة العوذلي
Salṭanat al-ʿAwdhalī),
was a state in the
British
Aden Protectorate. It was a
founding member of the
Federation of Arab Emirates of the South
in 1959 and its successor, the
Federation of South Arabia, in
1963. Its capital was
Zarah.
Its last sultan, Salih ibn al Husayn ibn Jabil Al
Audhali, was deposed and his state was abolished in 1967
upon the founding of the
People's Republic of South Yemen
and the area is now part of the Republic of
Yemen [from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audhali]. On the
map, Audhali is in the very middle, north of the bigger
state of Fadhli.
