Oil Minister in Sanaa addresses urgent message to foreign companies

SANAA, Oct. 02 (YPA) – The Minister of Oil and Minerals in the National Salvation Government in Sanaa, Ahmed Daris, on Saturday said: “The Saudi-led aggression coalition and mercenaries looted the country’s wealth, and they should take the warning of the armed forces seriously.”

He added, in a statement, “Foreign and local companies operating in the occupied areas should stop tampering with the wealth of the Yemeni people and looting their capabilities.”

The Oil Minister stressed that as of Sunday, October 02, 2022, “all oil companies must stop extracting any barrel of oil for export abroad.”

Daris indicated that any oil agreements not issued by the Yemeni government in Sanaa are non-binding to the Republic of Yemen.

He stated that Sanaa would take all strict measures to prevent the continuation of looting of Yemen’s sovereign wealth in accordance with international laws.

On Saturday evening, Sanaa armed forces alerted the foreign and local oil companies operating in the Republic of Yemen to follow up on the warnings and instructions to be issued and addressed to them, in conjunction with the end of the truce.
