The Hadhramaut National Council praises the million-strong rally in Mukalla in support of Saudi Arabia
The Hadhramaut National Council expressed its profound appreciation for the massive public events held in Mukalla, the capital of Hadhramaut Governorate, which reflected popular unity and loyalty to the sincere and fraternal stances of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Council affirmed that this massive public turnout represents a clear message expressing the vibrant voice of the Hadhrami conscience and the awareness of the governorate's residents regarding the importance of the current stage.
In an official statement published by the council via the “X” platform, the council saluted the large crowds that flocked to renew their pledge and stand united behind the local authority led by Governor Salem Al-Khanbashi, stressing that this alignment is the true guarantee for maintaining security and stability, and blocking the way for any projects aimed at disrupting public peace or dismantling the interconnected social fabric of the governorate.
The deep historical ties between Hadhramaut and the Kingdom
These events take place within a long history of deep-rooted relations between Hadramawt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as the two regions are bound by ties of kinship, neighborliness, and shared interests. The Kingdom has consistently been Hadramawt's strategic depth and primary supporter at various historical junctures, whether through economic and developmental support via the Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen, or through political stances supporting the unification of the Hadrami ranks, culminating in the Kingdom's sponsorship of the formation of the "Hadramawt National Council" as a political body representing the aspirations of the province's people.
Strategic importance and impact of the event
This popular movement is of paramount importance, extending beyond the local level to the regional and international spheres, given the geopolitical and economic weight of Hadramawt Governorate as the largest governorate in Yemen in terms of area and richest in resources. This popular support for the Kingdom is interpreted as a message of reassurance to the international and regional community that Hadramawt chooses the path of statehood and stability, and refuses to be drawn into peripheral conflicts that threaten maritime security in the Arabian Sea or the security of shared borders.
Saudi leadership appreciation
The Council concluded its statement by reiterating its deep appreciation for the historic stances of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and His Royal Highness Minister of Defense Prince Khalid bin Salman – may God protect them. The Council commended the steadfastness of the Saudi position in supporting the legitimate Yemeni government and preserving Arab national security, emphasizing that the awareness of the people of Hadramawt and their commitment to peacefully expressing their aspirations is a formidable bulwark against all attempts to tamper with the province's resources.
