Hadramout First, but at South's Expense

The article discusses the announcement by the Hadrami Coordinating Council of its formation, founded on principles that emphasize "Hadramout First" and affirm an independent political project for Hadramout. This raises questions about its ability to achieve stability and to place the Southern cause in its proper context. Key points highlight that the statement was issued collectively and did not reflect internal consensus, revealing divergence in Hadramout's stance toward the South and the North. The clauses assert that Hadramout is an independent party and participates in the Southern dialogue as an active participant, while also reaffirming the legal standing of the Yemeni state—indicating contradictions in perspectives. Additionally, the statement did not fully clarify Hadramout's role in the Southern issue, focusing instead on administrative demands without referencing Southern identity or political rights, which deepens divisions and threatens the unity of the Southern front. Most points indicate that the declaration reflects an attempt to disassemble Southern unity before negotiations, emphasizing the need for full recognition of Hadramout and Southern rights to achieve peace and stability.
