Saudi Arabia Postpones Return of ''Presidential Council''
2023-03-23
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
postponed the return of the president of the Riyadh-formed "Presidential Council," Rashad al-Alimi, to Hadhramaut province in eastern Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
indefinitely.

This occurs after tensions between provincial leaders in the province have escalated.

Media sources reported that al-Alimi’s return with members of the Presidential Council for Mukalla has been ruled out at the present time, attributing that to the failure of Faraj al-Bahsani, a member of the Presidential Council, to secure his return.

Saudi Arabia had pushed al-Bahsani to return to arrange the security and military situation, and instead of calming the situation, al-Bahsani entered into a conflict of powers with the governor of Hadhramaut, Mabkhout bin Madi, who is affiliated with the UAE.

Saudi Arabia believes, according to the sources, that this conflict may jeopardize the safety of al-Alimi and the rest of the council members.
