Yemen: Protests in Al-Wadiah
A committee, tasked by the member of the Presidential Leadership Council and Governor of Hadhramaut, Salem Al-Khanbashi, arrived at the Al-Wadiah land port to assess the facilities, services, and needs provided to travelers. This is the latest official move following a widespread electronic and media campaign that brought the suffering of those crossing through the port back to the forefront of public discussion. During the visit, the committee inspected the current port facilities and traveler needs. It also visited the new port to see its level of readiness and operational requirements, and to discuss the completion of remaining work in preparation for opening it to passenger traffic. This move comes after the electronic campaign highlighted in the past few days the long waiting times and lack of basic services at the port, with activists and media outlets circulating photos and testimonials documenting aspects of the travelers' suffering. The campaign has revived a file that has been in the shadows for years, part of the travel reality that many Yemenis have had to live with, until long waiting hours and lack of services became a recurring scene for travelers through the port. The question that has been repeated for years remains: When will the new Al-Wadiah port be opened to travelers?
