SANAA, Aug. 2 (Saba) - The executive director of Yemen's Oil Company Eng. Ammar Al-Adhro'e renewed the call for Yemenis who are abroad to stand together with their brothers and sons at home to prevent the aggression alliance from continuing piracy on the ships of oil derivatives.
During the delivery of the Yemen oil company's denouncing statement about the continued detention of oil derivatives ships by the countries of aggression, Al-Adhro'e noted that the United Nations has not responded to the Yemeni people's repeated demands for the release of oil vessels.
"Their refusal to pay half of the salary is a crime in addition to the crime of detaining oil derivatives, which are essential materials, and the aggression coalition continues to insist on preventing the access of oil derivatives to citizens and service sectors, even though oil ships are subject to UN inspection as well as obtaining UN authorized permits," he said.
The executive director of Yemen's Oil Company Eng. Ammar Al-Adhro'e said the Dinatsi ship was released after 129 days in detention and incurred delay fines of up to $2.8 million borne by the Yemeni people.
"They want to stop spending half of the salary collected from customs and tax revenues in the free provinces, which barely cover half of the salary for six months while the crude oil revenues controlled by the Aggression coalition and its mercenary cover more than 85 percent of the state's general budget, and we don't know where the crude oil revenues go that can cover the salaries of state employees per month 100 percent to the public sector throughout the republic," he said.
Al-Adhro'i explained that the crime of detaining oil derivatives has been linked to the disbursement of half of the salary under the supervision of the United Nations, which is a key partner in preventing the entry of oil vessels into the port of Hodeidah, and incurred fines of more than $33 million, equivalent to more than 18 billion riyals, equivalent to more than half of the salary that was spent.
He indicated that there is a ship that has loaded crude oil from the port of al-Nashemah port in Yemen's Shabwa province to Singapore to unload nearly 1.5 million barrels of crude oil worth an estimated $50 million equivalent to 30 billion riyals, and there is a ship loaded during the last four days to cover the payment of salary to all employees of the public sector.
Statements issued by Civil Society Organizations, the General Union of Yemeni Workers Syndicates, and the General Union of Owners of Private Petroleum Stations denounced the aggression coalition's continued detention of oil ships and its failure to enter them despite obtaining permits from the United Nations.
The Statements held the United Nations along with the Coalition of Aggression fully responsible for the situation as a result of the stoppage of all vital sectors directly linked to the lives and livelihoods of citizens, notably health, hygiene, water, electricity, transport, and communications.
The statements also denounced the silence of the United Nations in the face of the arbitrary practices of the Aggression coalition and its continued detention of oil vessels which exacerbates the suffering and living conditions of the Yemeni people.
