Al-Mahra, located in the east of Yemen, is the second largest Yemeni province after Hadramout. It is the only Yemeni governorate with land borders with two states. It borders the eastern side of Oman and the northern side of Saudi Arabia. In the past years, Al-Mahra has enjoyed a steady state of security and stability, as it has not been subjected to the invasion of Al-Huthi militias. At the same time, there has been no movement of al-Qaeda or Al-Qaeda.

But after the gale storm and then the storm of hope, the coalition forces, especially the Saudi forces, began to expand east of Yemen in the direction of skilled, in a similar move to the UAE in Aden, Shabwa, Hadramout and Socotra. The skilled remained safe until the Saudi forces came, turning the only active port in the province into a military barracks, taking control of the airport and turning it into a central military base. It has also established several camps in different areas of the province and formed armed militias similar to what the UAE does in Aden, Shabwa and Hadramout. The aim of all this is to ensure the loyalty of the skilled community.

The forces of Saudi Arabia did not stop there, but extended to the freighters and Sarfeet east of Al-Mahra. They imposed difficult measures similar to dispersion, which caused a decrease in the movement of goods and individuals, which cost the province significant financial losses. This poor condition, which reached the skilled did not appeal to the many of the people of the province, including the former agent of the Sheikh Ali Salem Al-Harizi, which prompted him to move frankly and publicly to reject the Saudi presence, which caused the financial loss of the sense in addition to the moral of the class, else.

Mass demonstrations and sit-ins began, with widespread popular participation, and everyone raised the slogan of the departure of Saudi forces. The sons of the skilled are not naive, they know like other Yemenis, that the main objective of the Saudi forces in the skilled protection of the oil pipeline, which the Kingdom intends to extend through the territory of the Maronites. The Saudis were caught in a great dilemma after the popular rejection of them in the skilled. Their use of the military forces sent the wrong messages to the sons of the skilled, and increased the expansion of the popular uprising, which rejected their presence.

Saudi Arabia should have coordinated with the Yemeni legitimacy in Riyadh on the issue of the oil pipeline, but recklessness and defilement, which has become an essential feature of the kingdom's internal and external policy, prevented it from coming from its doors. It is not fair for Saudi Arabia to send its military forces to the east of Yemen, while the fighting fronts need weapons and soldiers under the Huthis' intransigence. Many do not know that there are hundreds or perhaps thousands of skilled sons in Saudi Arabia passport holders are forbidden to renew their passports, how Saudi Arabia accept to be skilled in the absence of the sons of this province to get their full rights in Saudi Arabia?

The skilled community is a tribal society that does not succumb to threats and pressures and can not compromise the sovereignty and dignity of their country. The transformation of airports and ports into military barracks, and control of the security and administrative decision, all factors will increase the state of popular congestion in the skilled, and will not achieve any peace. How unfortunate it is that the Yemeni people find the same day, in the face of the ambitions of those who came to save him from the coup of the Houthi militias, and who came with the aim of restoring Yemeni legitimacy!

More regrettably, how Saudi Arabia wants the sons of the skilled and Yemen to accept their presence in their liberated provinces, while at the same time hundreds of Yemenis leave monthly? And impose on the residents of its territory high fees, did not take into account the exceptional situation of Yemen, nor the humanitarian crisis facing this suffering people. During the past year alone, 800,000 Yemenis have been deported from Saudi Arabia, according to Yemeni statistics. Saudi Arabia deals with Yemen as a country without people, dignity and sovereignty, so it seeks to turn skilled into a backyard.
