October 14 Revolution anniversary commemorated in New York and Abyan

Commemorations are being held to mark the 63rd anniversary of the October 14 Revolution, a historical movement that began in the Radfan Mountains against British colonial rule and led to South Yemen's independence in 1967.

In New York, the Southern community organized a national event featuring speeches from figures such as Dr. Saleh Al-Hakam, representing the Southern Transitional Council, and Dr. Tawfiq Al-Jaafari. The gathering included poetry and discussions aimed at strengthening ties among the diaspora and preserving national identity for younger generations.

In Abyan, Al-Zahra Basic Education School for Girls in Jaar hosted a cultural celebration for students. The event included theatrical performances about the revolution's origins and musical tributes to honor the sacrifices made during the struggle for independence.
