The authorities of Hadramout Governorate arrested journalist Awad Kashim, against the background of a post on Facebook, which sparked widespread controversy and some considered him a direct reason for his arrest.

Journalist Imad Al -Dini announced his solidarity with Kashim, and wrote on his Facebook page: “We declare our full solidarity with the dear journalist Awad Kashim Bin Hlaby, and we condemn his arbitrary detention by the largest disaster for Hadramout, Nero, the smuggling refinery and his adornment,” referring to the parties that he accuses of being behind the arrest.

The journalist, Kashim, had published a leaflet in which he criticized what he said was attempts to legitimize the military presence in the coast of Hadramout through upcoming political activities, saying: “The effectiveness of the next transitional in Mukalla is its primary goal of legitimizing the continued entry of military forces from outside Hadramout and its position in the coast, to protect and cover the team of accusations of Brigadier General Mohamed Al -Yamini and besiege the alliance of the Hadramout tribes.” To support the elite and its chief of staff is detained? ”

He accused Kashim, who did not express it explicitly - of seeking to impose absolute military and security hegemony on Hadramout, and to create chaos to strike the Hadrami elite, calling on the sons of Hadramout to "vigilance, rapprochement and monitor the movements that target the security and stability of the province."

There has been no official clarification from the local authority over the reasons for the arrest or accusations against the journalist as Kashim.
