The Yemeni Poet Al-Zubayri
Top left, ZubayrI photographed in Aden in 1946 when he was a leader of the
Yemenite Liberals with his friend ‘al-Ustadh’ Ahmad Nu‘man. Top right,
ZubayrI in Cairo during the eventful days of September 1962. Above, ‘If only
al-Zubayri were with us now to see what has been accomplished!’ Reading
from left to right we see ‘Agriculture, justice, roads, University, projects,
factories’ (cartoon from special number of Al-Thawrah commemorating al-
Zubayri, 14 RabP II, 1397/3.iv. 1977).
