The Yemeni government refused to set up a project in the “Sharma” natural reserve in Hadramout Governorate (eastern Yemen), after the governor Faraj Al-Bahsni agreed to a request by an investor to set up investment projects on the coast of the reserve.
According to a memorandum addressed to the governor of Hadhramaut and issued by Deputy Prime Minister Salem Al-Khanbashi in mid-June, the government refused to establish investment projects in the aforementioned region.
According to the official note, the area is a natural reserve for turtles, and has ancient ruins.
Al-Khanbashi advised the Governor Al-Buhsuni to define another area for the investor, after Al-Bahsni had approved the request of one of the investors, Muhammad Salem Jubran, to set up an investment project in the Sharmah Nature Reserve in Hadramout Governorate.
