Coalition-backed government admits of looting 3.2 million barrels of crude oil every month

ADEN, Sept. 11 (YPA) – The government loyal to the Saudi-led coalition has admitted that it had looted 3, 200, 000, 000 barrels of Yemeni crude oil at a time when Yemeni employees have not received their salaries for six years.

The amount of crude oil, which is exported amounted to about two million barrels, from Hadramout province every two months, while the oil exported from Shabwa province amounted to 1.200 million every two months as well, by 600,000 barrels per month from Shabwa, Saeed Al-Shammasi, the Minister of Oil in the coalition-backed government said during a television interview.

“There is a plan to increase the production of looted oil during the next stage,” he added

The pro-coalition government’s recognition comes at a time when it is reneging on the payment of salaries to employees, reneging on its obligations and pledging to the international community to disburse salaries from the state budget adopted over the past two decades from the revenues of oil wealth.

It is worth mentioning that the Saudi ambassador admitted last June that Yemen’s oil revenues go to accounts at the Saudi National Bank in a clear indication of the coalition’s plundering of the wealth of Yemenis with the complicity of the mercenary government.
