Government authorities in Yemen’s eastern province of Hadramout have announced the launch of the first integration of an armed formation into official security structures, incorporating the Hadrami Elite Forces into security units in Wadi and Desert Hadramout.
The move is aimed at strengthening stability and enhancing security performance in one of the country’s most strategically significant regions.
According to official media, the ceremony was attended by local and security officials, where the Deputy Governor of Hadramout for Wadi and Desert Affairs, Jamaan Salmeen Barba’a, reaffirmed the local authority’s support for security institutions. He stressed the importance of military discipline, professional conduct, and boosting the capabilities of forces to address security challenges.
The Deputy Interior Minister for Civil Services, Abdulmajeed Al-Amri, said the ministry is working to strengthen security forces in Hadramout, citing the province’s strategic importance and the government’s commitment to consolidating stability.
Meanwhile, the Director General of Security and Police in Wadi and Desert Hadramout, Abdullah bin Hubaysh, stated that authorities have implemented plans to expand security deployment, improve rapid response capabilities, and enhance training and institutional discipline.
This marks the first publicly announced and completed integration process under a broader effort backed by Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council and Saudi Arabia, following developments in eastern Yemen earlier this year.
The Hadrami Elite Forces were previously associated with the United Arab Emirates and were considered close to the now-dissolved Southern Transitional Council. The force was established around a decade ago.
Saudi Arabia oversaw the integration process under directives from Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad Al-Alimi, in a move aimed at restructuring armed formations operating outside the Yemeni state framework or affiliated with the Southern Transitional Council and its regional backers
