He is known and characterized by being harsh in criticizing the Foreign Ministry regime's and policies, and was banned by the Yemeni authorities from writing for many years. He resumed his writings after the fall of President Ali Abdullah’s regime early 2011.
Again in early February 2014, Mr. Abdulwahab Alamrani and Some other Yemeni Ambassadors, have been prevented and banned officially from resuming their writings in the newspapers, in which they criticize the ongoing corruption, government performance, the foreign policy, the formation of the State, particularly with regard to the federalism and the outputs of the National Dialogue. Although, there are some Yemeni diplomats and ambassadors still writing in the newspapers to this day, and they are not affected by this ban, because they go along with the current political forces or due to being members of parties; justification of the mentioned above ban, observers believe that this ban is due to the fact that the change desired is still incomplete and not achieved yet after the revolution (Arab Spring) in 2011 in Yemen, unfortunately, freedom continuous to be suppressed and controlled by those previous political leaders in control.
