ADEN, May 05 (YPA) –  Media sources revealed that Saudi Arabia demanded the so-called  Presidential Council, which it was  formed in April headed by Rashad al-Alimi, to pay Riyadh’s losses in its war on Yemen, which reportedly amounted to $800 billion.

The sources confirmed that there was an old deal between Saudi Arabia and Hadi in which he  signed  a monthly commitment to pay Saudi losses.

“Saudi Arabia wants Al-Alimi Council to approve a debt of $800 billion to Yemen. According  an official in the coalition-backed government,  Hadi’s debt as of the end of 2021 amounted to $256 billion,” said Anes Mansour, a consultant at Hadi’s embassy in Riyadh.

Mansour added in another tweet, that during the 8 years of war, Yemen’s income from oil and gas goes to the Saudi National Bank and recently Rashad al-Alimi asked Saudi Arabia kindly to supply Yemeni income to the Central Bank of Yemen  in Aden so that the government can meet its obligations, but Saudi Arabia refused!!.”

According to the coalition-backed government source, Saudi Arabia forced Hadi to grant investment contracts in Yemen’s oil fields, including future exploration fields, for 50 years.

The sources indicated that the Al-Alimi Council renewed its commitment to all agreements signed by Hadi.
