September 3 2001

Similarly, several basic projects were implemented in Haraz area, the main concentration area of the Bohra sect in Yemen.
Prince Saif Eldin stated that his visit to Yemen came at the directives of his father with the view of getting to know the conditions of the followers of the sect in Yemen.
It is worth mentioning that the Sultan of Bohra visited Yemen five times in which he was accompanied by thousands of his followers. Statistics show that the number of the Bohra followers in Yemen is more than 13,000 living in Haraz, Hamadan, Ibb and Aden.
Some of the hardline Islamic extremist groups criticize the followers of the sect considering them as not following the Sunni teachings.
Sultan Mohammed Burhan Eldin, 90, is the most important scholar of the Bohra sect all over the world.
