Witness History: Witness Archive 2015 - Aden's Independence Struggle

In the early 1960s, the British colony of Aden – today part of Yemen – was on the brink of a fierce struggle for independence. Witness hears from Assiya al Haj Yousef who was a schoolgirl at the time, helping to organise protests against British rule.
