سياسة الفاطميين الخارجية مع الصليحيين في اليمن (427-532 ه 1035-1138 م)‎

Abstract EN

The Fatimids had succeeded in finding a faithful supporter who was Ali bin Mohammed Al- Sulayhy who_ in his turn_ was able to pave the way_ in his country_ for the Fatimid policy.

The records of the Fatimid Caliphate Al-Mustanser billah and Ali bin Mohammed Al- Sulayhy_ or what is so called Al-Mustanseriyah records_ are the best evidences of this cooperation_ where the Fatimid policy depended on the Sulayhy family to control and hold back the princes of Mecca in Hijaz and to defuse the Fatimid Call in the Arab peninsula and India.

In spite of the dangerous division of the Fatimid Call into Mosta`liyah and Nezariyah in 487 A.H \ 1094 A.D_ the Fatimid policy had succeeded with this family in controlling this division in Yemen by the loyalty of the Sulayhy Al-Seyidah Al-Hura and her continuous support for the central government in Cairo represented by the Fatimid Caliphate Al- Mosta`liy billah.
