A smile carved new lines of hope onto faces that had waited far too long—joy, heavy with bitter memories, glimmered in the eyes of more than 112 faculty members, teaching assistants, and administrative employees at Hadhramout University, as they finally received their long‑awaited reduction approvals, additions, and new appointments. The decision arrived like late rain upon parched land—each drop carrying the reproach of years, yet watering an ember of patience that had nearly faded.
For some, the wait had exceeded fifteen years—years laden with smothered anxiety and deferred hope, carried silently through the University’s halls and corridors. But the day finally came when the ink of complaint and anticipation was wiped away, replaced by official documents affirming their rights and their professional standing.
Dr. Doaa, a faculty member at the University, captured the essence of that moment, saying: “Our repeated calls and requests never troubled the University President, Prof. Dr. Mohammed Khanbash; he always responded with openness and understanding.” Her words distill a long dialogue and point toward a door opened by the University’s leadership, through which the light of resolution entered to dispel a prolonged darkness.
Yet despite the breadth of the joy, it is not complete. A few names—estimated at the number of two handfuls—remain absent from the final list due to missing documents. Dr. Khanbash pledged to follow up on these cases personally with the relevant authorities, affirming that “the authorities have not fallen short,” and expressing optimism that the remaining approvals will be issued soon.
The Numbers Speak:
- Total beneficiaries: More than 112 faculty members, teaching assistants, and staff.
- Approvals issued so far: Approximately 105.
- Still pending: Around 7 individuals due to incomplete documentation.
This milestone is not merely an administrative step closing an overdue file. It is a restoration of recognition—an unlocking of potential long constrained. And it now opens the door to the next legitimate demand: ensuring these approvals translate into real financial adjustments in salaries and allowances. For that reason, this historic moment for the University and its staff represents the ideal opportunity to call upon the Ministry of Finance to finalize the cycle of justice by accelerating the financial disbursement procedures tied to these approvals.
Today, Hadhramout University breathes a sigh of relief alongside its people, marking the first step toward a more stable future—hoping the remaining steps will follow soon, so that joy may reach everyone without exception.
