Hadramout's oil export rights under Ben Habresh
The article discusses the resumption of oil exports in Hadramout, where there is an ongoing debate over the distribution of revenues between the province and the central government. Local authorities in Hadramout emphasize their right to 20% of the oil revenues and demand guarantees before resuming exports, while also insisting on their rights to manage their resources independently. Historically, Hadramout's demands have gone beyond revenue sharing, calling for broader powers to oversee security and economic affairs, especially with the establishment of the Hadramout Elite Forces. The discussion around a new mechanism for revenue distribution raises concerns about the escalation of political tensions, as economic and rights-based issues intertwine, with hopes placed on balancing the protection of Hadramout’s rights and ensuring the stability of public finances.
