Aden Grapples with Power Cuts, Currency Crisis Amid Economic Collapse

News - Yemen: Yemen's southern city of Aden, which is under Saudi-Emirati occupation, faces electricity shortages due to the depletion of fuel at power stations, with the Saudi-backed government failing to provide necessary resources despite appeals.

Residents endure frequent power outages, compounded by rising temperatures as summer approaches, heightening the need for electricity to combat the heatwave.

Meanwhile, the currency of the Saudi-backed government has plummeted, with the US dollar surpassing 1700 Yemeni riyals, worsening the crisis of counterfeit currency.

Citizens express frustration as prices soar and living standards plummet due to the ongoing economic collapse, exacerbating the plight of Aden's residents.

The economic collapse has significantly impacted the living conditions of citizens in Aden and other occupied southern provinces, leading to a situation where the Saudi-backed government is unable to pay teachers' salaries.

In 2015, Saudi and Emirati forces entered the city of Aden from Bir Ali, citing the need to repel the "Houthi-Iranian" intervention and secure international navigation. It didn't take long after the arrival of these forces for the new British-style experiment to take shape.

The Saudi-Emirati ambition in Yemen faced a southern awakening, which began on the island of Socotra when thousands protested against turning the island into a dependency of Abu Dhabi. Then came the uprising of the people of Al-Mahra in July, demanding sovereignty over the province and rejecting foreign control over the city. The protests expanded to reach the city of Aden, where the UAE has deployed over thirty thousand local military personnel loyal to them.

Hundreds took to the streets demanding the departure of the "coalition" forces from the south, a situation that analysts have compared to the protests in the 1960s against British presence, which laid the foundation for armed struggle in the south.
