A military source in Hadramout Governorate, southeast of Yemen, revealed that the forces of the First Military Region loyal to the Muslim Brotherhood will soon depart from the Hadramout Valley and Desert regions in the coming days.

The source said in a statement to "NewsYemen": that military forces from the people of Hadramout governorate were trained under the supervision of the command of the Arab coalition forces, intending to enter the city of Seiyun in order to take over their duties as a substitute for the forces of the first military region, explaining that the new forces are one of the brigades of the "Dir' al-Watan" forces.  It was recently formed by a decision of the President of the Presidential Leadership Council.

The source indicated that the military force was trained near the Al-Wadiah border crossing between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and its formation came after the escalation of popular protests demanding the empowerment of the people of the Hadramout valley and desert to manage their security and military affairs and to end the Houthi interventions led by the first military zone.

On Sunday, the head of the Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad al-Alimi, issued a decision to form new military forces under the name "Shield of the Nation" and to appoint Brigadier General Bashir Saif al-Madrabi al-Subaihi as its commander.  The new forces, with the strength of 8 brigades, will be deployed in Aden, Abyan, Hadramout, and Lahj, similar to the presidential protection forces that were formed by the Brotherhood after the Houthi war during the presidency of former President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi.

It was reported that Al-Madrabi was able to attract many young people and complete the establishment of brigades as the nucleus of 22 brigades that he intends to form for the strength of this force, in coordination with the Arab Coalition, in addition to his ability to create sites and camps for these forces in Lahj, Al-Dhalea, Shabwa and Hadramout, in addition to the Abyan governorate, which is still unknown.  Efforts are still being made.

The Saudi political researcher, Ali Al-Areshi, revealed the military force that will take over the tasks of Wadi Hadramout and its leader.

He explained, in a tweet on his page, that the commander of the new Hadrami military force is the commander, "Fahd Ba Mo'men," who hails from Hadramout, pointing out that the force has trained its soldiers in the Sharurah region bordering Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and these forces will be pushed towards Hadramout.

In parallel with these movements, tribal sources in the Hadramout desert revealed the start of the deployment of new forces that were recently formed under the name of the "Border Guards".

Tribal sources in the Hadramout desert, in the east of the country, confirmed that the coalition leadership deployed a military force composed of tribesmen in the Hadhramaut desert, after they were recently recruited under the name "Border Guard".

The new force took over the northern plateau of the Qaf al-Awamer district, all the way to the Empty Quarter desert.

According to the sources, the leadership of the Arab coalition recently supported the process of forming two new brigades in the Al-Abr border district with Saudi Arabia, in which military forces loyal to the Brotherhood are stationed, loyal to the Houthi militia, and are involved in smuggling operations into Saudi territory.

The sources confirmed that the new border guard forces will be the first of their tasks to secure the border strip and the desert area that was exploited by the Houthi militia and with the complicity of the Brotherhood military forces as smuggling lines for its weapons and drugs coming from Iran through the land and sea ports in Al-Mahra Governorate and the Sultanate of Oman.
