  • The Mahra Sultanate of Qishn and Socotra or sometimes the Mahra Sultanate of Ghayda and Socotra was a sultanate that included both the historical region of Mahra and the Indian Ocean island of Socotra in what is now eastern Yemen. It was ruled by the Banu Afrar dynasty and is sometimes called Mahra State in English. The capitals of Mahra were Qishn in Mahra and Tamrida (Hadiboh) on Socotra. During 1886 the sultanate became a British protectorate and later became a part of the Aden Protectorate. In the 1960s, Mahra declined to join the Federation of South Arabia but remained under British protection as part of the Protectorate of South Arabia. In 1967, the sultanate was abolished and Mahra became part of newly independent South Yemen which united with North Yemen in 1990 to become the Republic of Yemen. Today the Mahra area (without Socotra) is the Al Mahrah Governorate of Yemen. In addition to Arabic, Mehri, a Modern South Arabian language is spoken in Mahra. Mahra shares with the neighbouring Dhofar in Oman cultural treats such as non Arab languages, the importance of frankincense and geographic and climatic ties as well, which distinguish these regions from the desert surrounding them, mostly due to the beneficial action of the khareef monsoon.
  • Le Sultanat Mahri de Qishn et Socotra [Salṭanat Mahrah fī Qishn wa Suquṭrah] ou parfois le Sultanat Mahri de Ghayda et de Socotra, était un État qui incluait tant Mahra, l'actuel gouvernorat yéménite homonyme, que l'île de Socotra dans l'Océan Indien. Il avait deux capitales, Qishn, à Mahra, et Tamrida (Hadiboh) à Socotra. Il déclina en 1962 l'offre de rejoindre la Fédération d'Arabie du Sud et choisit de demeurer au sein de ce qui fut alors rebaptisé Protectorat d'Arabie du Sud. En 1967, le sultanat fut aboli et son territoire inclus dans la nouvelle République populaire du Yémen du Sud, fusionnée en 1990 avec son voisin septentrional pour devenir la République du Yémen.
