3 community colleges in Hadramout suspend registration process

HADRAMOUT, June 05 (YPA) – Community colleges in the oil-rich province of Hadramout, eastern Yemen, have suspended the registration process for the next academic year until further notice.

Hamad Salmeen bin Al-Zaw’ Al-Nahdi, a professor at Seyoun University, said on Monday in a tweet on Twitter, “The three public community colleges in Seyoun, Al-Rayyan, and Al-Shihr have suspended admission and registration for the next year because there are no central or local budgets.”

More than 1,500 male and female students would be affected by the suspension of study at the community colleges, Al-Nahdi added.

He accused the “Leadership Council, the government, and the Ministry of Higher Education and Technical Training,” loyal to the Saudi-led coalition, of standing behind the suffering of Hadramout students.

The pro-coalition government, headed by Moen Abdulmalik, has been suffering from a severe economic crisis due to rampant corruption in various economic sectors, as the Islah Party and the UAE-backed Southern Transition Council do not deposit the revenues of ports, airports, land crossings, fish, oil, and gas exports to the Bank of Aden but instead transfer them outside Yemen.

It is noteworthy that the pro-coalition government seized $ 2 billion that Saudi Arabia deposited in the Central Bank of Aden since 2018, while the bank continued to manipulate the rules of currency exchange and the currency market, and laundered a large part of the deposit via a complex scheme, according to a UN investigation.
