He studied for a Commerce degree and became a School Teacher in
12-day 1986 civil war between forces loyal to former chairman Abdul Fattah Ismail and then-chairman Ali Nasir Muhammad. An Ismail ally, he took control after Muhammad's defeat and defection and Ismail's disappearance.[3][4] In a coup that took the lives of anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 people, Ali was one of the few high-ranking officials who survived.[5]
Suffering a loss of more than half its aid from the Soviet Union from 1986 to 1989[6] and an interest in possible oil reserves on the border between the countries, Ali's government worked toward unification with North Yemen officials.[7][8]
