Sheikh Amr bin Habrish al-Alili, head of the Hadhramaut Tribes Alliance in Yemen, urged all Hadhramis, including members of the Elite Forces and Public Security personnel, to stand their ground, stating that the current phase was settled and that there was no room for revenge.
Speaking during a visit on Friday to a military camp in the Hadhramaut Plateau, Bin Habrish called on everyone to remain vigilant and fully prepared to protect and secure Hadhramaut.
He urged all Hadhramis, including officers and rank-and-file members of the Elite Forces and Public Security, to prevent any security vacuum from emerging.
He also called for closing any gaps that hostile parties could exploit to spread chaos and looting, stressing that Hadhramaut must not be allowed to become an open arena for terrorism and sabotage.
“We are all Hadhramis and brothers, and Hadhramaut has room for everyone,” the Hadhrami leader said. “The phase is settled, we welcome all Hadhramis, and there is no room for revenge. It is not in our nature to harbor grudges.”
He called for opening a new page with all Hadhramis, saying, “May God forgive what has passed for anyone who caused offense or harm to the Hadhramaut project adopted by the Hadhramaut Tribes Alliance.”
“We excuse them on the condition that they change their behavior and join their people in defending their land, except for military and civilian leaders who betrayed the principles of their responsibilities and betrayed the nation. Their accountability rests with the state in accordance with the system and the law,” he added.
Bin Habrish said the gains achieved in Hadhramaut had come by divine grace and through the steadfast positions of loyal and sincere Hadhrami men on the ground.
He also credited the support of the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad al-Alimi, and Hadhramaut Governor Salem al-Khanbashi, as well as what he described as the sincere brotherly role of Saudi Arabia’s leadership, represented by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, Maj. Gen. Dr. Mohammed Ubaid al-Qahtani, and the leadership of the Joint Forces.
He extended his thanks and appreciation to them on behalf of the people of Hadhramaut, saying their support would not be forgotten and that Hadhramaut would return loyalty with loyalty.
