The Hadhrami League (Arabic: العصبة الحضرمية al-osbah al-hadhramiyah) is a movement founded in 2003 under the name of the National Organization for the Liberation of Hadhramaut in Hadhramaut Governorate by Abdullah Saeed Bahaj and called for the self-determination of Hadhramaut residents at home and abroad and the legitimate rights of the People of Hadrami under international laws, foremost of which is the right to Self-determination and the Restoration of its independent State, Hadhramaut was an independent state that was first occupied in 1967 by South Yemen and the second in 1990 After unification between the two Northern and Southern States. The Hadhrami League considers it a "Yemeni occupation". [1] [2]


The Hadhramout Inclusive Conference(HIC) aspires for greater regional autonomy and increased authority over Hadhramauts economic resources. However, the HIC hopes to achieve this by a federal model under a unified Yemen; or a federal region in an independent South Yemen. The HIC includes several senior southern leaders such as al-Beidh and Baoum.[3]

People in Mahra and Socotra governorates generally hold a distinct sense of identity. The Mahra Council oppose the proposal of being subsumed within a larger Hadhramaut region under the Hadhrami League or Hadhramaut region.The Mahri and Socotri people demand to have their own region within any federal system.[4]
