HADRAMOUT, Jan. 10 (YPA) – The Hadramout Tribal Alliance is to hold on Saturday an expanded meeting bringing together sheikhs and tribal dignitaries in the Ghail Bin Yamin Plateau area in Hadramout province, eastern Yemen.
An informed tribal source reported that the leaders of the Tribal Alliance and the “Hadramout Comprehensive Conference” will discuss with various Hadrami components the solutions presented by the “Presidential Leadership Council,” loyal to the Saudi-led coalition, in an effort to consult and come up with a unified vision.
The call for this meeting came after the Leadership Council stipulated the removal of the armed points and sites controlled by the alliance in exchange for allocating the quantity of crude oil stored in Al-Dabbah oil port to establish two power stations to serve the districts of Hadramout Valley and its coast, in addition to establishing a hospital in the plateau.
For their part, activists from Hadramout expressed their belief that what was proposed by the Leadership Council represents a legal right for the people of the province, stressing the importance of starting to implement these solutions quickly and issuing decisions that guarantee their rights to the revenues of natural resources.
They also pointed out that the demands do not stop at establishing stations and a hospital only but include achieving a sustainable partnership that guarantees future rights and ensures the participation of the people of Hadramout in making fateful decisions.
This comes in conjunction with the targeting of Hadramout Alliance sites west of Mukalla with missiles that were likely launched from the sea, as accusations were directed at the American and Emirati forces stationed at the civilian Al-Rayyan Airport, which has been transformed into a foreign military base since 2016.
In a related context, the residents of the Hadramout coastal districts are demanding the reopening of Al-Rayyan Airport for civilian flights and the evacuation of the armed factions brought by the UAE from Aden and Dhalea provinces in recent years.
