The Peaceful Youth Revolution Council asserts that the developments in Hadhramaut constitute a deliberate and complete coup, orchestrated by the UAE and Saudi Arabia through local proxies and enabled by the overt complicity of the Presidential Leadership Council, which has once again revealed its impotence and full alignment with schemes to fracture Yemen.

The collapse of the First Military District and the unlawful deployment of Southern Transitional Council militias into Hadhramaut and Al-Mahrah—under direct Coalition protection—demonstrate that the Presidential Leadership Council now serves merely as a fragile façade for dismantling state institutions and ceding governorates to separatist actors.

The post-facto Saudi “mediation” effort is nothing more than an attempt to cloak an imposed reality with false legitimacy and to sanitize an aggressive act targeting Hadhramaut and the Yemeni Republic as a whole.

The Council salutes the steadfast people of Hadhramaut and their tribal alliances, and commends the forces of the First Military District for their resilience despite being abandoned and left without political cover.

Glory to the Yemeni Republic.
Honor to the martyrs.
Shame upon all who betrayed Hadhramaut.
