Al-Bu`si is one of the most obscure of the five sheikhdoms of Upper Yafa.
Located in a mountainous area it was part nominally of the Western Aden Protectorate, although no treaty is known.
The Al-Bu`si Sheikhdom did not join the Federation of South Arabia, but was nominally part of the Protectorate of South Arabia. The Sheikh of Bu`si has been recorded as one of the rulers of South Arabian states under British protection attending the second Lahej conference in 1930.
