$9.5 Billion in Revenues from Yemen's Oil Looted by US-Saudi Aggression Since 2018

News - Yemen: The Minister of Oil and Minerals in the Sana’a, Ahmed Daras, revealed that the US-Saudi aggression has looted $9.5 billion in Oil revenues since 2018.

Minister Daris indicated that they are selling sectors and some sectors are captured by the US-Saudi aggression.

Minister Daras said that Sana'a is capable of disbursing the state employees salaries if it were to supervise the production of Oil, Gas and deposit the revenues.

The Executive Director of Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC), Ammar Al-Adrai, condemned the continuation of the US-Saudi aggression in piracy of fuel ships in the Red Sea in light of the extension of the humanitarian truce and after obtaining UN permits.

He stated that there is a gasoline ship and a gas ship being held for more than 10 days by the US-Saudi aggression, pointing out that today the US-Saudi aggression released a petrol ship after it was detained for more than 15 days.

In early April, after Yemen’s Supreme Political Council declared a voluntary and unilateral three-day pause in retaliatory strikes against targets in Saudi Arabia, the UN special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced the nationwide ceasefire, for the first time since 2016.

The deal stipulates halting offensive military operations, including cross-border attacks, and allowing fuel-laden ships to enter Yemen's lifeline al-Hudaydah port and commercial flights in and out of the airport in the capital Sana'a "to predetermined destinations in the region ."

However, in light of UN silence, the Saudi-led aggression was still obstructing flights to the Sana'a International Airport in Yemen’s capital and detaining fuel ships that were headed to the country. The fires of the aggression side did not subside along the fronts, on the borders and inside, including shelling, reconnaissance, development and crawl.

In early June, the United Nations announced that Yemen’s National Salvation Government and the US-Saudi coalition have agreed to renew the two-month truce after days of negotiations and promises to fulfill the terms of the agreement.

The UN envoy noted that the truce was extended under the same terms as the previous one.

The United Nations continues to condone the crimes committed by the Saudi-led aggression. It only holds the coalition responsible for crimes when it seeks to blackmail the Kingdom and oblige it to pay millions of dollars. The UN is not concerned with the souls of the victims, as it provided cover for this aggression for years, and kept silent in the face of many of its criminal practices, whether through raids or sieges.

Since June 2020, the aggression and its allied government have continued to prevent fuel ships from entering the port of Hodeidah, except for a few ships that entered the port with a large time difference between each ship. Most of the ships left the place where they were being held by the forces of aggression, with their full cargo, after accumulating delay fines, exceeding the price of the cargo.

A suffocating fuel crisis in all governorates is experienced under the authority of Sana’a. Most of the important vital sectors, especially the health sector, are threatened with suspension, while work has been disrupted in many productive and service sectors, which caused economic losses of millions of dollars.
