Yemen is a country in the Middle East bordered by Oman and Saudi Arabia. North Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. The British, who had set up a protectorate area around the southern port of Aden in the 19th century, withdrew in 1967 from what became South Yemen. North Yemen and South Yemen formally unified as the Republic of Yemen in 1990. The official language is Arabic.
