Map of the Federation of South Arabia
'Fadhli' ( []), or the 'Fadhli Sultanate' (Arabic: سلطنة الفضلي []), was one of the original "Nine Cantons" that signed
protection argreements with
Great Britain in the late
19th century and became part of the British
Aden Protectorate. It was a founding member of the
Federation of Arab Emirates of the South in
1959 and its successor, the
Federation of South Arabia, in
1963. The capital of the Fadhlis was
Zinjibar and their sultanate incorporated the surrounding
Abyan region. The last sultan, Nasir ibn Abd Allah Al Fadhli of Zinjibar, was deposed and the state was abolished in
1967 upon the founding of the
People's Republic of South Yemen and is now part of the Republic of
Yemen.
