Wahidi Bir Ali (Arabic: واحدي بير علي Wāḥidī Bīr ʿAlī), or the Wahidi Wilayah of Bir Ali (Arabic: ولاية الواحدي بير علي Wilāyah al-Wāḥidī Bīr ʿAlī), was one of several Wahidi states in the British Aden Protectorate and the Protectorate of South Arabia. Its capital was Bir Ali on the Gulf of Aden coast. The last wali, Alawi ibn Salih ibn Ahmad Al Wahidi, was deposed and the state was abolished in 1967 upon the founding of the People's Republic of South Yemen and the area is now part of the Republic of Yemen.

Famous quotes containing the word ali:
“That was always the difference between Muhammad Ali and the rest of us. He came, he saw, and if he didn’t entirely conquer—he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
