Faysal Abd al-Latif al-Shaabi ({{langx|ar|فيصل عبد الطيف الشعبي}}; 1935 – 2 April 1970http://adenalhadath.net/mobile/news_details.php?sid=10236{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}) was briefly the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of South Yemen, from 6 April 1969 until the political coup (Corrective Move) that led to Salim Ali Rubai's ascendance to power on 22 June 1969. Al-Shaabi was appointed prime minister by President Qahtan Mohammed al-Shaabi.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KKrCgxsRBkEC&q=Faysal+al-Shaabi+prime+minister&pg=PA377|title=Dictionary Of Modern Arab History|last=Bidwell|date=2012-10-12|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781136162985|language=en}} After being ousted, al-Shaabi was kept under house arrest, but was moved to a detention camp at the end of March 1970. On 3 April 1970, the government radio in Aden broadcast a report that al-Shaabi "was fatally wounded when he tried to escape the detention camp."[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=gL9scSG3K_gC&dat=19700404&printsec=frontpage&hl=en "Ex-Premier Fatally Shot"], Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, April 4, 1970, p2
