                            The April Uprising has been the main factor behind the incidents that

                        culminated in the coup. From April 20, 1876, when the uprising started, right
                        until August 31, when Abdul Hamid II was made the Sultan, the British deep

                        state unleashed a relentless campaign of hatred on Turks. Mysteriously, many
                        circles that accused Turks of carrying out non-existent massacres at the time

                        kept strangely quiet in the face of very real British deep state massacres in
                        Africa (Zulus), Australia (Aborigines), the US (Indians), and the Far East

                        (Indians and Chinese), despite the clear evidence.


                            Yemen Uprising

                            The first serious military confrontation between Britain and the Ottoman

                        Empire took place when the British deep state bought a few greedy sheikhs
                        in order to gain a foothold in the city of Aden, Yemen, an important and valu-

                        able Ottoman province. Seeking to further solidify its presence, the British
                        deep state began to search for a reliable fortress in northeast Yemen. Histo-

                        rian Süleyman Kocabaş describes the furtive steps that led to the invasion of
                        Yemen:


                            After Britain entered Aden, it continued to advance in the northeast direc-

                            tion and resorted to all imaginable methods to achieve its goal of seizing the
                            fertile lands ahead. They wore Arab clothes, spoke Arabic, deceived Arabs

                            with promises of independence; all for the sake of interests of their island. 160

                            This was the reason behind the notorious Yemen uprisings that took

                        place while it was under Ottoman rule. The Empire dispatched corps and even
                        small armies to suppress the riots, but despite suffering massive casualties, it
                        lost Yemen. Once again, a few sheikhs, who viewed their personal interests

                        over those of their country, preferred to be pawns of the British deep state.

                        Their horrible betrayal caused the martyrdom of thousands of people.
