In celebration of Yemen Independence Day 22 May
yemen arab republic
The present Republic of Yemen came into being in May 1990, when the Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen) merged with the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen (South Yemen). By stipulation of the unification agreement, Sanaa, formerly the capital of North Yemen, functions as the political capital of the country, while Aden,

formerly the capital of South Yemen, functions as the economic centre. The two components of Yemen underwent strikingly different histories: whereas North Yemen never experienced any period of colonial administration at the hands of a European power, South Yemen was a part of the British Empire from 1839 to 1967. The contemporary borders are largely a product of the foreign policy goals and actions of Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Saudi Arabia. Postunification Yemen has been burdened by chronic corruption and economic hardship. Divisions based on religion, tribalism, and geography continue to play an important role in Yemeni politics, sometimes leading to violence.
Join the world stamp club
Join the world’s first online stamp club with DigiClerk Stamps. Who last saw your collection of stamps or stamp album? The answer is probably, not many people. The DigiClerk (DC) Stamp Collection allows you to give your stamps a much wider, but focussed, global audience. Share your collection of stamps with other enthusiasts around the world. Right now, as a DC Member, you can take a photo of your stamp, using the DC app or using a scanner, and upload it onto the platform for all other Members to see, wherever they are in the world. You can indicate which of your stamps are for sale and what price you are asking for them (see future features for when they can be traded). Members can form groups within the collection which might reflect stamp clubs, regional groups, stamp interest groups. Tell us how you want your community to look.
You can categorise your stamp (as DC develops it will help you do this by making suggestions). You will be able to create groups around country sets or stamp subjects.
