The Growing American Interest in Hadramout, Yemen
The situation in Hadramout province, eastern Yemen, is evolving as the Hadramout Tribes Confederacy’s tensions with the “Presidential Leadership Council” and the pro-Saudi government escalate.
American interest in the region has grown, especially since the UAE’s control of Mukalla and the establishment of a military base in Al-Rayyan Airport.
The head of the Hadramout Tribes Confederacy, Amr bin Habrish, recently met with a military advisor at the American embassy, highlighting US efforts to align with local tribes for political and economic goals.
This interaction underscores the international community’s increasing interest in Hadramout, a key oil-rich region in Yemen.
Both American and European diplomats are actively engaging with local leaders to secure strategic interests in the province.
