Angry student protests in Ghail Bawazir in Hadramout

HADRAMOUT, Sept. 02 (YPA) – The Gail Bawazir district in the oil-rich Hadramout province witnessed on Monday an angry student demonstration due to the deteriorating living conditions and the collapse of basic services.

The student demonstration roamed the streets of the district, chanting slogans demanding the improvement of service conditions and an end to corruption from the proceeds of natural resources.

The demonstration comes as a continuation of the rallies that took place in the city of Mukalla during the past days in protest against the deterioration of basic services such as electricity and water, amid demands to open the sea to fishermen after it was closed by the UAE forces present at Al-Rayyan Airport.

During the demonstration, the protesters blocked the international road linking Hadramout to Mahra province with stones after the participants in the demonstrations were repressed by the factions loyal to the UAE.
