Aden Street riots
1967 anti-British riots in Aden
The Aden Street riots took place in early 1967 during the Aden Emergency. On 19–20 January 1967 the NLF prompted street rioting in Aden. The Aden police lost control, so British High Commissioner Sir Richard Turnbull deployed British troops to crush the riots. This was followed by pro-FLOSY rioters taking to the streets which then led to conflict with British troops until February.
