Tribesmen shut off Shabwa most valuable oil fields

SHABWA, June 18 (YPA) – Tribesmen stopped on Sunday all its works in the most important oil fields in Shabwa province, which is under the control of the UAE-backed factions in eastern Yemen.

Tribal sources confirmed that people from the “Thahba” area of the “Balharith” tribes in Usilan district have stopped all internal work in Oil Block No. 5 of “PetroMasila” company due to the companies’ failure to supply electricity to the people of the area since 2009.

The tribesmen called on the oil company operating the Oil Block 5 to implement the agreements signed with the former operator, the American “Hunt” firm, during the past period and with it during the current stage.

This comes after written warnings issued by the people of the area to the operating company yesterday, Saturday, to stop all its operations.
