SANA'A, Jun. 21 (Saba) -The forces of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council, in the city of Aden used live bullets to disperse the demonstrators who went out to protest against the increase in the prices of oil derivatives.
The participants in the protest chanted slogans condemning the Saudi-backed government and the UAE-backed Transitional Council, holding them responsible for what they considered the policy of starvation and fabricating crises to impose more suffering on the citizens.
Massive protests continued in the city of Aden to denounce a new price dose of gasoline passed by the Saudi-backed government, with the worsening of the deteriorating living conditions.
Sources said that protesters blocked main and subsidiary streets with damaged tires in the Mansoura district, in protest against the oil company's raising the price of a 20-liter tank of gasoline to 26,000 riyals.
Sources added that the streets of Mansoura, the largest district of Aden, were suffocating in traffic, after protesters prevented the passage of cars, chanting slogans demanding the departure of the corrupt Saudi-backed government.
Angry protests also spread to other streets along the districts of Sheikh Othman and Brega, while many shops closed their doors.
Occupied southern governorates are witnessing a tragic situation, high crime levels, currency deterioration, and rising prices. They have witnessed protests and sit-ins during the last period, due to the worsening humanitarian and economic conditions.
The Yemeni riyal exchange rates continued to deteriorate significantly against foreign currencies in the occupied governorates.
