The Corrective Move[1] (Arabic: الحركة التصحيحية, romanized: al-ḥaraka at-taṣḥīḥiyya), officially referred to as the "Glorious Corrective Move"[2] and often referred to as the "Corrective Step", was the takeover of the Yemeni National Liberation Front by the Marxist faction led by Abdel Fattah Ismail and Salim Rubai Ali, in an internal bloodless coup on 22 June 1969 that overthrew the Nasserist President Qahtan al-Shaabi.[1] The Marxist takeover later led to the creation of the Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP), and South Yemen's transformation into a socialist state.
