The city of Mukalla, capital of Yemen’s eastern coastal province of Hadhramaut, has been gripped by a surge of angry protests since the evening of July 27, 2025, as rolling blackouts, soaring temperatures, and total service collapse push residents to the brink. With power outages exceeding 18 hours per day, water supply interruptions, and skyrocketing fuel prices, thousands of residents have poured into the streets, blocking roads with burning tires and demanding the resignation of Governor Mabkhout bin Madi.Though economic decline and service interruptions are familiar realities in southern Yemen, the sheer scale of Mukalla’s electricity crisis and the rapid spread of unrest mark a dangerous tipping point. With no immediate resolution in sight and local authorities blaming external fuel disruptions, the situation risks sliding into prolonged civic instability, and potentially regional upheaval.
