Ali Nasir Muhammad's Leadership
Ali Nasir Muhammad became Prime Minister of South Yemen on August 2, 1971. He held this role until February 14, 1985. Later, he became Chairman of the Presidential Council on June 26, 1978. This happened after the previous leader, Salim Rubai Ali, was removed from power. Ali Nasir Muhammad served in this role until December 27, 1978.
Becoming President
In April 1980, the president of South Yemen, Abdul Fattah Ismail, stepped down. Ali Nasir Muhammad then became the new president. Many people saw him as a more flexible and moderate leader. He was less strict about certain political ideas than the previous president. He also made some government rules less strict.
Ali Nasir Muhammad wanted South Yemen to have better relationships with other countries. He tried to get along better with neighboring North Yemen and Oman. He also worked to improve ties with Western countries.
The 1986 Conflict
On January 13, 1986, a big conflict started in Aden, the capital of South Yemen. This was a fight between Ali Nasir Muhammad's supporters and those who supported the former president, Abdul Fattah Ismail, who had returned. This conflict is known as the South Yemen Civil War.
The fighting lasted for over a month. Many people were hurt or died. In the end, Ali Nasir Muhammad was removed from power, and Abdul Fattah Ismail died. Ali Nasir Muhammad's time as president ended on January 24, 1986. About 60,000 people, including Ali Nasir Muhammad, left South Yemen and went to North Yemen. Haidar Abu Bakr al-Attas became the new leader.
Later Political Life
Ali Nasir Muhammad was a member of the National Front. He also joined the Yemeni Socialist Party when it was formed in October 1978.
During the 1994 Civil War in Yemen, he encouraged his supporters to work with the government forces from Sana'a. They fought against a group that wanted to separate and re-establish South Yemen. This attempt to separate failed in July 1994.
Afterward, Ali Nasir Muhammad became a figure who spoke out against the government during the 2011 Yemeni uprising. Some groups wanted him to be part of a new council to help govern Yemen. This council aimed to move Yemen from a strict government to a more democratic one. However, the main opposition group did not support this council.
In February 2015, there were news reports that Ali Nasir Muhammad might become a temporary leader. This was considered after the government collapsed during the 2014–15 Yemeni coup d'état.
