History of Yemen and Saudi Arabia's Relationship
The Modern History of Yemeni - Saudi relationship begins in 1803 with an attack by Saudi forces of the territory of zaydi imamate with the help of some local Yemeni tribes. The Saudis won and had control over the Tihama region until 1818 when the forces of Mohammed Ali Pasha destroyed the Saudi state [2] The establishment of a protectorate over the Idrisi sultanate in Asir led to clashes between Ibn saud and imam Yahya of Yemen. Ibn Saud captured Asir and Jizan while the imam managed to occupy the oasis of Najran[3] Negotiations proved fruitless, the Saudis regained control over Najran and occupied about 100 kilometers of coastal plain [4]
in 1948, Saudi Arabia provided aid to imam Ahmed fearing the "constitutional" nature of an uprising in Yemen [5]
