Biography | Comes from the Talafaha tribe which is the largest in the Unified Tribes, as such it has produced more Sultan's than any other tribe. The current Sultan was the son of Sultan Mafruz who died in 1983 at the age of 60. Yahya was at this point a well respected member of the Tribal Council and had been Emir when his tribe had appointed the rank. He was also a respected military leader having overseen the build up of the Talafaha tribes militia into one of the best equipped and trained in the nation. He gained the support of 17 of the 25 tribes during his election. He has been keen to try and establish a more permanent prescence in the capital in an effort to try and bring about an economy for Waddan utilising its rich but untapped natural resources. This has not always been popular with many of the tribes. He has also though brought back some traditions his father began to discount such as the "hostages" situation where when the Sultan left his own tribal lands to visit another a female member of that tribes Chiefs family must go reside with the Sultan's family. Additionally he has overseen attempts to ensure a more robust military while retaining the militia systems of old. |
