Faysal Abd al-Latif al-Shaabi (Arabic: فيصل عبد الطيف الشعبي; 1935 – 2 April 1970[1]) was briefly the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of South Yemen, from 6 April 1969 until the political coup (Corrective Move) that led to Salim Ali Rubai's ascendance to power on 22 June 1969. Al-Shaabi was appointed prime minister by President Qahtan Mohammed al-Shaabi.[2] After being ousted, al-Shaabi was kept under house arrest, but was moved to a detention camp at the end of March 1970. On 3 April 1970, the government radio in Aden broadcast a report that al-Shaabi "was fatally wounded when he tried to escape the detention camp."[3]
