evidence: Socotra is an out-of-this-world island sitting within the four-island Socotra Archipelago in the Arabian Sea. The island became a territory of Yemen in 1967 when the island joined the Democratic People’s Republic of Yemen, or better known as South Yemen. [...] - The archipelago consists of four islands. The largest being called Socotra. The other three are Abd al-Kuri, Samhah, and Darsa. [...] The way of life is completely different out there. During my travel to Socotra, Socotra of course had a very negative connotation held to it being a territory of Yemen. So much so, that shortly after I returned home from the trip I learned to not share with people that I had traveled to Socotra and especially not in mainland Yemen.
