Summary
Description Aden Lahej Meeting.JPG |
English:
Official photograph taken on the occasion of the Lahej Conference of 1930, the first meeting ever between a Resident of Aden (then Sir Stewart Symes, center) and the main tribal chiefs and rulers of the Western Protectorate.
To the left of Sir Symes is Sultan Abdul Karim Fadhl of Lahej, the most important state of the Western Protectorate. To the left of Sultan Fadhl is the Amir of Dhala, a strategic state bordering on Yemen (then the Imamate of Yemen). The other European in the front row is Bernard R. Reilly, then Assistant Resident. Reilly, who had been serving in Aden since 1912, will be the chief British official of Aden from 1931 to 1940, first as Resident, then as Commissioner, and finally as Governor (1937-1940). The photograph was taken outside the palace of the Sultan of Lahej. |
