On 15 July 2012, employees of the Gulf of Aden Ports Corporation marched from the gate of the Port of Mualla to the Governor`s office in Aden to protest mismanagement of the company. Specifically, the employees called for the abolition of the Corporation`s partnership with Dubai World and the release of Yemeni sailors who have been kidnapped by Somali pirates.
