In a significant move to reduce the detainee population at Guantanamo Bay, the Biden administration transferred 11 Yemeni detainees to Oman, marking a crucial step towards closure.
All 11 Yemeni detainees had been held for over two decades without charges, raising concerns about their prolonged detention despite being approved for transfer years ago.
The urgency of this transfer was highlighted by the potential political landscape shift, with fears that Guantanamo transfers might cease if Donald Trump resumes presidency.
The successful transfer of the Yemenis involved complex diplomatic negotiations, reflecting the nuanced and often contentious effort to reduce the population of Guantanamo.
