Yemen’s FM condemns US’s Sponsorship of looting Syrian oil

SANAA, Aug. 3 (YPA) -Yemen’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hisham Sharaf condemned the hostile approach of the US administration towards the Syrian Arab Republic and its people by supporting groups outside the state’s regime and law and their complicity in the looting of Syrian oil.

Hisham Sharaf denounced in a statement , the US sponsoring of a false agreement between an American oil company with the militias of the Syrian Democratic Forces “Qasd” to invest oil production and sell it illegally

He stressed that such an approach was practiced only by thieves of the wealth of peoples and their enemies.

Sharaf noted that such an illegal agreement was conducted under the auspices of the international community and the United Nations for thieves and outlaws who had been created and armed by the White House in the context of a conspiracy of so-called “creative chaos and the Greater Middle East.”

The minister stressed  that the National Salvation Government condemned the  conspiracy against  Syria and its steadfast people.

“What is currently taking place is the looting of the wealth of the Syrian people, the same crime of theft and looting that has been taking place for years in the Republic of Yemen through the theft of the wealth of the Yemeni people from oil and gas,” he said.

He explained that the government continues to monitor and document details and information related to the looting of oil and gas by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, their militias and armed groups during the past years of aggression in preparation for bringing the issue before the international community and international anti-corruption courts.

He stressed that any arrangements for a peaceful political solution in Yemen would not overlook the opening of the files of theft and corruption, whether by the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the UAE or the leaders of  armed militias and political groups currently allied with them.

“The temporary protection that the US currently gives them will not benefit them and will not continue under the follow-up of the Senate and the House of Representatives in Washington and their monitoring of these practices of corruption and theft, and all these thieves will find themselves in front of the  international courts.
