                          About Public Holidays in Yemen

                          Yemen's calendar carries the marks of a country that split and reunified: Unity Day (May 22) marks the 1990 merger of North and South Yemen, while Liberation Day (October 14) and Independence Day (November 30) separately commemorate the earlier southern revolt against British colonial rule in Aden and its 1967 conclusion. The country's ongoing political division since 2014 means holiday observance isn't fully uniform nationwide, with Houthi-administered areas separately marking their own additional anniversary the internationally recognized government does not.
