THE RIVALRIES OF SOUTH YEMEN

Even when the fighting in South Yemen's bitter civil war comes to a halt, the ferocious political struggle for control of the country will not be over. Supporters of Abdul Fattah Ismail, the leader of the coup attempt, broadcasting from Lahej, 30 miles north of the capital, said that President Ali Nasser Muhammad had been ousted and that a new collective leadership of the Yemeni Socialist Party had taken control. The "collective leadership" comprises three military intelligence officers, a former minister, and the head of state security.
