Emirati writer: Abu Dhabi will not cede the coast of Hadramout
HADRAMOUT, Aug 01 (YPA) -An Emirati writer and political analyst close to UAE President bin Zayed revealed his country’s intentions to continue occupying the coast of Hadramout and not to cede it to any party.
Mahmoud al-Balushi said on Twitter: “For years, we have been in the coast of Hadramout and sacrificed the finest UAE youths in the age of flowers in order to liberate Mukalla from terrorism, and today comes those who are ungrateful.”
سنوات ونحن نتواجد في حضرموت الساحل وضحينا بخيرة شباب الإمارات في عمر الزهور في سبيل تحرير المكلا من الإرهاب، واليوم يأتي من يتنكر للجميل بالمختصر وبعيد عن الكلام الوايد ،
حضرموت الساحل لن نتنازل عنها ولن نسلمها ، والسعودية عليها تأمين الوادي من الإرهاب والاخوان.— محمود البلوشي 🇦🇪 (@mahommood2023) July 30, 2023
He added: “In short, we will not give up the coast of Hadramout and will not be handed over. And Saudi Arabia must secure the valley from terrorism and the Islah militants (Muslim Brotherhood).”
The eastern province of Hadramout has been witnessing great tensions between the UAE-backed factions and their Saudi-backed counterparts. This tension reached to the level of threating to uproot the first military region of the valley under the pretext of fighting terrorism.
