Bin Breik directs the normalization of the situation in Hadramawt: Details of the new directives
Major General Ahmed Saeed bin Brik, President of the National Assembly of the Southern Transitional Council, stressed the paramount importance of expediting the normalization of the general situation in Hadramawt Governorate, emphasizing that the stability of the governorate is a fundamental pillar of security and stability throughout the southern governorates. These remarks came as he continues to monitor the latest developments and the evolving situation on the ground and in public services in the country's largest governorate.
Prioritizing services and alleviating the suffering of citizens
Major General Bin Brik's call comes at a time when citizens in Hadramawt, like those in many other governorates, are suffering from numerous challenges related to the deterioration of basic services, most notably the electricity and water sectors, in addition to the economic challenges resulting from the collapse of the local currency. Observers believe that the emphasis on "rapidly normalizing the situation" directly points to the necessity of concerted efforts between the local authorities, security forces, and civil society to lift the governorate out of its current predicament and provide a stable environment that ensures the continuation of development and alleviates the burdens weighing heavily on the citizens of Hadramawt.
The strategic importance of Hadhramaut
Hadhramaut Governorate holds immense strategic and economic importance, serving as the country's primary economic driver thanks to its oil and mineral wealth, as well as its strategic geographic location and long coastline. Given this importance, any tension or instability in services has negative repercussions not only at the local level but also extends to the overall political and economic landscape of the region. Hadhramaut has long been a focal point of events and a target for various political forces, making the preservation of its stability and the normalization of life there a top priority for the leadership of the Southern Transitional Council.
Security and political context
Historically, Hadramawt has faced complex security challenges. However, the formation of the Hadrami Elite Forces has played a significant role in defeating terrorist groups and establishing security in the coastal areas. Nevertheless, there remains a pressing need to bolster this security stability with parallel stability in public services and administration. Experts indicate that Bin Breik's calls are part of a comprehensive vision aimed at empowering the people of the governorate to manage their own affairs and secure their resources. This aligns with the ongoing popular demands for improved living conditions and an end to the manufactured crises that disrupt normal life.
Expected impact of recent moves
These directives and political moves are expected to resonate widely within local circles, as the people of Hadramawt await concrete, practical measures on the ground. Successfully normalizing the situation in Hadramawt will serve as a model for the other liberated governorates and will strengthen the Southern leadership's position in any future political processes, demonstrating the local cadres' ability to manage crises and overcome obstacles when the necessary political will and support are available.
