The Islah Party sent on Sunday large military reinforcements to the oil-rich province of Hadhramaut, eastern Yemen

.

This coincides with the Saudi-led coalition’s arrangements to declare the province an independent region amid expectations of a military confrontation.

According to southern media, a military convoy comprising many patrols and vehicles of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) moved from the city of Ma’rib via al-Khasha’a Road on its way to Hadhramaut Valley.

Earlier, the Islah party mobilized its armed factions in Marib and Jawf provinces, known as the "Popular Resistance®," under the name "Restoring Unity," referring to its arrangement for a battle against the STC.

The step also coincides with arrangements in Riyadh to announce the outcomes of the agreement of the "Hadhrami forces" that participated in the past days negotiations, which the Islah party participated in and included the declaration of Hadhramaut as an independent region.

Moves to Sever Alliance With Islah Forces in Favor of Dera al-Watan Fighters

by Emad AlmarshahiSaudi Arabia took its first steps towards severing its alliance with the Islah party in Hadhramaut, stripping the party of all its military and political powers.

Saudi Arabia is moving to deploy about 10,000 recruits from the so-called "Dera al-Watan" factions into the valley districts in the coming days. Today they finished celebrating the graduation of a new batch of these factions in Hadhramaut.

This was confirmed by Ahmed Saeed bin Breik, vice president of the Southern Transitional Council (STC), who spoke in a television interview on Friday that there is an agreement to deploy the "Dera al-Watan" factions from the people of Hadhramaut in the valley districts instead of the "First Military Region" forces loyal to Islah.

i areas under the control of the coalition. Recently, the balance of power changed in favor of Abu Dhabi again on the fourth of May.

It should be noted that the Islah party was excluded from the scene in southern and eastern Yemen by its coalition partners. Riyadh seems to have excluded the party once again, which has become the weakest link among the coalition partners in Yemen.
