News - Yemen: The Ministry of Fisheries condemned the US-Saudi aggression attack on fishermen on the coast of Al-Buraiqa in Aden.

It explained in a statement that it had received a report stating that the so-called security belt forces had attacked the fishermen of the Saba Fish Association and expelled them from their location on the Buraiqa coast in the city of Aden.

The statement considered this attack a flagrant violation of the rights of fishermen and a disruption of fishing in the region, calling for an investigation into this incident and for those responsible to be held accountable.

It called for protecting the rights of fishermen, providing security and stability in the marine area, and ensuring the continuity of fishing to provide for their families.

Fisheries constitute one of the pillars of economic development in Yemen due to its renewable resources that contribute to the sustainability of the gross domestic product. It provides job opportunities for thousands of Yemenis, in addition to the productive and service activities related to this vital and strategic sector, which generates revenues to support the economic and social development in Yemen.

The countries involved in the aggression deliberately target the fish and marine sector in Yemen as part of their tendencies to extend and control Yemen's ports and islands and control its coasts and beaches.

The targeting methods consisted of bombing fishing boats and fishing landing centers, in addition to confiscating boats in the coastal areas that they controlled. They prevent the practice of fishing in many areas designated for years for fishing, in addition to dredging, looting and tampering with marine resources.
