Aggression turns Hadhramaut into battlefield at expense of their children: governor

Hadhramaut governor Luqman Baras confirmed on Monday that the countries of the aggression are racing to plunder Hadhramaut province’s wealth and turn it into an arena of conflict and regional and international control.

He called on the free people of Hadhramaut to resist the occupation and reject the entry of any Saudi, Emirati, American and British colonial forces into their lands.

He stated that the ambitions of the countries of invasion and occupation in Hadhramaut have been exposed for decades, and just as their conspiracy plans fell in the province before the aggression, they will now fall.
