Following the deployment of tribal forces from the Hadhramaut Tribal Alliance in the plateau surrounding the oil fields, the alliance issued an important statement affirming its commitment to protecting national wealth.

The statement stated: “One of the principles of the Hadhramaut Tribes Alliance is the protection of all kinds of wealth, and for its sake it faced many challenges and made sacrifices for that. From this standpoint, the Hadhramaut Tribes Alliance categorically rejects harming the oil fields that some irresponsible parties intend to hand over to Private companies, which constitutes a direct target for the National Company, PetroMasila.”

The statement indicated that these resources are considered the property of the people and are an essential resource for the state, warning that approaching them is a “red line.” The alliance stressed that society will confront any attack on these resources with all its might, under any false justifications or arguments.

The statement added that “everything done by these parties is considered invalid and cannot be applied in matters concerning the general public,” stressing the need to protect these wealth from exploitation in light of the current circumstances.
