The governor of Hadhramaut province in Hadi’s government, Faraj al-Bahsani, has declared a state of emergency in the province.
Al-Bahsani’s decision is coinciding with the insistence of the Hadhramaut valley tribes to continue the tribal protests in the Al-Ayoun area until the looting of the province’s wealth is stopped.
Informed sources said that the martial law declaration came mere hours after Hadi’s Vice President, Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar had called with governor al-Bahsani, and after the latter had failed to disperse the tribal sit-in protests.
The Hadhramaut tribes have been at odds with the Saudi-led occupation forces for years, with protests and manifestations commonplace.
