Talk:'Asir Province

Timelines of World History

"Timelines of World History" (John B Teeple, 2002), shows Asir to have been an independant region between Yemen and Nejd in 1925... Therefore the claim here that it was taken from Yemen seems unlikely, unless it was part of Yemen when Yemen was part of the Ottoman Empire... Furius

Pre-1925 Yemen had two people competing for leadership position one of those people was in the Asir region of Yemen and gained much of Asir's populations support and claiming his own independent state unrecognized by Yemen. It seemed short lived as they were on the brink of rejoining Yemen if it were not for Saudi forces rallying to keep Asir independent yet ended up keeping Asir themselves. Through a peace treaty between the leader of Yemen & the King of Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia kept Asir as well as Najran & Jizan. Remember Saudi Arabia was just a newly created country originating in Najd region. In those years Saudi Arabia was usurping lands from neighboring countries to the north, south, east and west in the Arabian Peninsula. by BB

Asir was and still a big tripe , it wasn't conquered by Houthis or Yemen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ameer Aseer (talk • contribs) 13:39, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Shias in Asir

Every time anything is added to this article about the large Shia population of Asir (largely of Zaidi and Ismaili rites), some Wahhabi zealot deletes it. At least he doesn't behead and crucify them, as the Saudi government did in January of 2016. When are people going to learn that hiding a truth does not make it go away? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:C686:B00:223:32FF:FE9A:1153 (talk) 02:37, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Vice governor

With the death of Mansour bin Muqrin the information on vice governor will need to be updated as soon as a replacement is appointed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.210.22.81 (talk) 02:28, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
