Al-Thawra (Arabic: الثورة The Revolution) is a Yemeni newspaper. It was founded on 29 September 1962,[1] and celebrated its golden jubilee in 2012.[2]

The paper was founded by the Yemen Arab Republic government entity the Saba General Organization for Press alongside Al-Jumhuryah newspaper. Al-Thawra is based in Sana'a and had a pro-government stance.[1] After the Houthi takeover in Yemen in 2015, the Houthi's captured Al-Thawra and turned it into a pro-Houthi outlet circulated only in the north of Yemen.[3]
