sanaa, Yemen – In a dramatic escalation of internal political tensions, the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council has undertaken a sweeping removal of key government and military figures, accusing them of undermining national unity. The purge, announced over the last 48 hours, comes amid ongoing efforts to quell both the Houthi insurgency in the north and growing separatist sentiment in the south, particularly following recent reports of unrest in strategic provinces like Hadramout and Mahra [[3]]. The moves signal a significant effort by the Council to consolidate power and address perceived threats to the country’s fragile stability.
In a sweeping move signaling a crackdown on internal dissent, Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council has removed several high-ranking military and civilian officials, accusing them of conspiring to undermine the country’s unity. The dramatic purge, carried out over the past 48 hours, comes as Yemen continues to grapple with a civil war and the threat of separatist movements.
The Presidential decrees, issued as emergency orders, resulted in the dismissal and forced retirement of Defense Minister Lieutenant General Mohsen al-Da’airi. Also removed from their posts were key military commanders in the strategically important provinces of Hadramout and Mahra, including Brigadier General Talib Saeed Barjas, commander of the Second Military Region, and Brigadier General Mohsen Marsea, commander of the Ghaydah Axis. All three have been referred for criminal investigation.

The shakeup extended to the civilian government, with the removal of Ahmed Hamed Lamlas, Minister of State and Governor of Aden, Abdulsalam Hamid, Minister of Transport, and Waed Badhib, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation. These officials are accused of supporting secessionist agendas, posing a threat to national security, and aligning themselves with Aidaroos al-Zubaidi, who has been accused of high treason.
According to Saudi journalist Malik Al-Roqi, the recent unrest in Hadramout and Mahra exposed the extent of the internal conspiracy. Al-Roqi emphasized that those who remained loyal to the Yemeni state in the face of intimidation and financial incentives would be crucial in the effort to retake Sanaa and end the Houthi rebellion.
