He called on all political forces, tribal leaders, and local components in the governorate to prioritize wisdom, unite ranks, and rally around the local authority and its national institutions.

The President reiterated the state’s commitment to enabling the people of Hadhramout to manage their resources and achieve their aspirations for development and fair representation in power and wealth. He stressed that the only path to realizing these aspirations lies in the unity of Hadramout’s people, the protection of public gains and interests, the strengthening of security and stability, and shielding the governorate from attempts at polarization or chaos.

President Al-Alimi affirmed that the Council and the government will work responsibly with the local authority to normalize conditions and support all sincere efforts to resolve internal disputes. His Excellency warned that any escalation on the ground would harm citizens’ interests and essential services, and open the door to risks that must be avoided by all means.
