Recurrence pattern: every year on November 30.

Independence Day in Yemen is observed every November 30, marking the anniversary of the declaration of independence from the United Kingdom in 1967. This public holiday celebrates the historical struggle for independence, particularly the efforts of two political groups, the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen and the National Liberation Front (NFL). The NFL participated in negotiations with Great Britain, culminating in the signing of the independence agreement on this date. The territory of South Yemen, which became a British colony in 1863, was unified with North Yemen on May 22, 1990, but the independence celebration specifically commemorates the establishment of the People's Republic of South Yemen. The holiday is significant for the people of Yemen, as it symbolizes their liberation and the end of colonial rule.
