Aden, Yemen – Mohammed Al-Naqeeb, the official spokesman for the Southern Armed Forces,
announced that the valiant military units, foremost among them the Hadrami Elite Forces,
are continuing at an accelerated pace to implement Operation “Promising Future”.
This comes with broad popular support aimed at consolidating security
and stability in the Wadi and desert regions of Hadramawt.
Fortifying cities and cutting off infiltration routes
In the context of this operation, the Hadrami elite forces,
represented by the “Barshid Brigade”, carried out a large-scale deployment operation;
This is with the aim of fortifying the cities of Wadi Hadramawt and protecting
them from the dangers of infiltration by elements of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization.
Field efforts are currently focused against the elements entrenched
in the strategic “Wadi Sar” area, located north of the Al-Qatan and Shibam districts.
Wadi Sir: The biggest security challenge
For his part, the captain indicated that “Wadi Sir” currently represents
one of the most dangerous strongholds of Al-Qaeda,
It poses a threat similar to what Wadi Awmran in Abyan
and Wadi Al-Masini on the coast used to pose.
The organization chose this location because of its complex topography,
which combines mountains, plateaus, and vast agricultural plains.
Furthermore, the spokesperson confirmed that the organization
benefited from the cover provided by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Through the influence of the “First Military Region,” which he described
as having “remained for decades a safe haven for these elements.”
Combat experience and a proven track record
It is worth noting that the units participating in the current deployment
are veteran units with extensive experience in guerrilla warfare and counter-terrorism.
These forces have previously fought notable battles, the most prominent
of which was Operation “Al-Faisal” in February 2018.
Which targeted the organization’s hideouts in Wadi al-Masini
with direct support from the UAE forces within the Arab coalition.
This gives the current operation military momentum
and accumulated field experience to decide the battle.
