News - Yemen: The Presidency of the Yemeni Parliament praised the Supreme Political Council’s affirmation of keenness to preserve Yemen’s unity and full sovereignty and to preserve its wealth and capabilities.

In its meeting on Saturday, chaired by the Speaker of the Parliament Yahya Al-Rahi, the Presidency of the Parliament denounced what the US-Saudi aggression are doing of tampering with the capabilities of the Yemeni people, plundering its wealth, and its quest to tear Yemen apart and undermine its unity.

The Parliament also held the UN and its envoy to Yemen and the humanitarian and human rights organizations responsible for their shameful silence towards the suffering of the Yemeni people.

It pointed to the extent of the failure of those international bodies to perform their role and not fulfill their duties in providing urgent relief in the humanitarian aspects to confront the catastrophic effects of the aggression and siege.

It renewed its warning against the suspicious movements of the Council of Saudi-Emirati tools that impersonate the Parliament. They no longer have any legal, constitutional or public status after their betrayal and neglect of national sovereignty, which led to their membership being revoked. Therefore, any dealings or agreements concluded by them with countries, companies or bodies are considered void, and do not carry any constitutional or legal status. 

It affirmed that Yemen and the Yemeni people retain the legal and constitutional right to sue them before national and international courts and prosecute them as war criminals.

During the four months of the UN-brokered truce and the extension that took place between April 2 and August 2, the pro-aggression government looted Yemeni crude oil and domestic gas revenues, the equivalent of the salaries of state employees for seven months.

This amount was enough to alleviate the suffering of the people, which has been going on for nearly six years, since the US-Saudi aggression transferred central bank jobs to Aden and cut salaries.

The total revenues of crude oil and domestic gas looted by the Saudi-mercenaries in the past four months is about 919.66 million dollars, equivalent to about 551.8 billion Yemeni riyals. It would have covered the salaries of all state administrative employees for more than seven months, at 77 billion Yemeni riyals for each month.

Its total value is approximately $267 million. While the Indian ship SEAVELVET arrived on the 25th of the same month at Al-Nashima port in Shabwa governorate to loot one million barrels, with a total value of 106 million dollars. On May 31, the foreign ship Apolitaris arrived at the port of Ash-Shihr in Hadramout to loot more than 2.2 million barrels, with a total of more than $270 million.

It was followed by three days later, on the 29th of the same month, the arrival of the Emirati ship lSABAELL to the port of Al-Nashima in Shabwa to loot nearly one million barrels, worth 114 million dollars.

With a total of 232.5 thousand tons, with a total value of 71.2 billion Yemeni riyals.
