News – Yemen: The Shura Council condemned the  the US-Saudi aggression for detaining fuel ships used by the service sectors, during the announced truce.

In a statement, the Council considered, Sunday, preventing the entry of diesel ships to the port of Hodeidah, despite obtaining UN permits, a clear and flagrant violation of the terms of the truce and all humanitarian and international covenants and laws.

The statement denounced the coalition's persistence in its crimes against the Yemeni people. The Council called on the countries and organizations that claimed their keenness for peace and sought to extend the truce to mandate the coalition of aggression to implement the terms of the truce.

The statement noted the need to pressure the coalition to abandon the tricks they play during lately, unless they have to bear the consequences. The statement put full responsibility for the humanitarian and economic damage resulting from these arbitrary actions on the countries of the coalition of aggression, blaming the United Nations for its shameful silence regarding these inhumane practices.

A UN-brokered truce in Yemen first came into effect on 2 April, and for an initial two months.  It was renewed for another two months in June.

The deal stipulated halting offensive military operations, including cross-border attacks, and allowing fuel-laden ships to enter Yemen's lifeline Hodeidah 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.

When the period specified for the military and humanitarian truce was nearing its end, the US-Saudi aggression seemed to be in a hurry to adopt the option of extending it for the third time to freeze the battle in Yemen and its economic repercussions away from global energy markets.

The forces of aggression are pushing for an extension, not out of concern for peace, but rather out of fear that the escalation will add more complications to the international scene in addition to the crisis imposed by the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The employees of the Ministry of Electricity organized a protest sit-in, Saturday, calling on the UN to transcend the silence and take full responsibility for the piracy practiced by US-Saudi aggression on fuel ships.

They denounced the continued detention of fuel ships and their entry ban despite obtaining UN entry permits.

The Minister of Electricity, Mohammed Al-Bakhiti, expressed the Ministry of Electricity’s condemnation of the piracy practiced by the US-Saudi aggression, which affects the level of performance of the service sectors, resulting in an increase in the suffering of the Yemeni people.

A truce, the positive effects of which have not been felt by the citizens over the past months, despite its broad headlines. Commercial flights to Cairo are still stumbling until today, and the navy of aggression continues to pursue fuel ships without respect for agreements or any regard for international laws and norms.

Double standards regarding the violations of the forces of aggression and its provocative practices is a double UN policy that has brought the crisis in Yemen to its current level of misery and deprivation that has affected everyone far from justice and the realization of the rights of the Yemeni people.

The truce has been renewed for an additional two months through 2 October, UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced.
The extension includes a commitment by the Saudi-led aggression and the Salvation Government to intensify negotiations to reach an expanded agreement as soon as possible.

The UN representative to Yemen Hans Grundberg confirmed that the extension of the truce in Yemen for two additional months "includes a commitment to provide fuel and its regular flow through the port of Hodeidah."
