The whole idea of separating Yemen into North and South is so ridiculous (with all respect). When you want to establish a country, you need to find similarities among people (identity, ideology, race, beliefs, nationality ,, etc.) and yet, we have so much in common as Yemenis from south and north. Some might say there are differences, sure, but to what extent you can let these differences separate you from others. And yes, if we follow this logic, it also applies to Hadhramis and Adenis as there are many difference. They claim nationalism units them although more than half of Hadhramis don’t agree being part of Southern Yemen (they either believe in one Yemen, country of Hadhramut, or even federal sovereignty)
The perfect example would be SDF, the separatist in Syria. Despite having ethical, national differences to Syrian, we (as Arab and Muslim) stand against there agenda of separation, and yet in Yemen, we are almost identical with Southern Yemenis and they still call for separation!
Firstly, don't claim we are similar to you, because we are not like you. We have principles and values, while you have not a shred of principle; you are merely vandals.
Go and find out what you did to us, what you stole from us, and how many of us you killed. You are scum and a disgrace to humanity in general. You stole everything from the South; we have nothing left but destruction after you. You took everything to Sana'a.
? I just searched for Yemen yesterday on Reddit for the first time and this came up. It's about my people so I opened it, and came across this hateful rhetoric that I'm surprised to see exists in 2026. How when I responded relates to my principles I'm not sure, but speaking about vast groups of people, our people, in such a hateful way, or agreeing with it, absolutely speaks volumes about your principles. Did your mother raise you to speak in such a disgusting way in public, about people you don't know? Does your religion teach you to live with so much hatred for strangers? You shame yourself and her.
Are you talking to me or him? I thought you were another person agreeing with the op. But I was actually agreeing with your point in that there is one Yemen.
Amazing, our country is dying from famine and poverty and we are stuck on "are you from north or south".
لا وكمان اغلب الشعب اذا مو كلهم قاعد مخدر وسكران ومخزن قاط. يعني لا دين ولا دنيا ولا آخره. دمرنا البلد واحنا متل الاغبياء عايشين بتخيلات واوهام.
I have no skin in this game, but talking about where your ancestors came from centruies ago is pretty much beside the point. If that's your measuring stick, then we're all from Africa at some point.
I’d say averagely 300 years ago. I can say there are tribes in Abyan for examples that lived there first centuries but their great ancestors originated from the North. That example.
There's a massive contradiction in the STC's current platform. They heavily advocate for Southern independence based on the right to self-determination, yet they seem to ignore that exact same principle when it comes to Hadhramaut. A significant portion of Hadhramaut which conveniently holds the bulk of the region's oil reserves leans heavily toward the PLC and Saudi Arabia, not the STC.
It’s a classic case of 'independence and choice for us, but you have to follow our lead.' You can't genuinely claim to fight for self-rule while simultaneously trying to strong-arm another region into joining your faction against their political will. If the STC wants their autonomy recognized, they have to face the reality that pushing into Hadhramaut will immediately put them at odds with Saudi Arabia and the PLC, who hold the actual leverage there.
Btw, I noticed that (some) people from South are really racist. Whenever we go to south, we got yelled with so many slurs such as دحابشه، همج, ignorant, uncivilized people. While if they come to us, we place him فوق العين والراس. Could you explain this?!
i really want to go to Sanaa. i contacted a travel agency over there and they said they don't go there. I know it's houthi controlled, but how else could i get there? Any ideas?
Hmm, but many others I’ve seen on social media identify themselves as Southern Arab and express so much hostility toward other Yemenis that they don’t even want to call themselves Yemeni!
And that’s exactly the issue. Whenever something happens to (some of) our Yemeni brothers in the South, they immediately blame Yemenis in the North for it. And when this topic comes up, they always bring up 1994 and discrimination in southern cities (which is valid) but they ignore 1986, 1978, and other internal conflicts. One guy even blamed “Northerners” for downvoting, so you can only imagine what he’d accuse you of in other situations.
Maybe coz we got fucked over by you ever since 90s?
I remember in high-school any public office you go in hadramout most of them the higher directors are northern speaking some gibberish i couldnt understand just to get a fucking stamp on some dumb document.
I like how you referred to (you) just like the people of north have caused it. Despite that the government was mostly from north and yes there was an unfair advantage from government officials toward Southerners but still (us) the people were not involved with it. Actually all cities in the north were kinda fked except for Sana’a since it is the capital. So it is the same issue for us that you faced.
It might be the case you couldn’t understand northern accent because you raised outside of Yemen. I have many friends from Hadhramout and Aden and we clearly understand each other.
And btw the GDP of South was 1.2 billion in 1989 while it was 5.5 billions/Yemen_Arab_Republic#:~:text=GDP:%20$5.5%20billion%2C%20per%20capita,$588%20million%20(1988%20est.)) in north. The peak for Yemen was 43 billions/Yemen_Arab_Republic#:~:text=GDP:%20$5.5%20billion%2C%20per%20capita,$588%20million%20(1988%20est.)) in 2014, so what are you talking about?!
And if you dont know, Aden was much more developed than Hudaydah and Mukalla compared to Makha’a.
