ADEN, June 21 (YPA) – The UAE-backed Yemeni officer, Tariq Saleh, the orphan of the former President Ali Abdullah Selah, dealt a painful economic blow to the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Aden city, south of Yemen.
Waddah Al-Hambli, a media activist in the UAE-funded STC, confirmed that Saleh worked to complete a plan led by the head of the pro-coalition government Maeen Abdul-Malik, in coordination with the “Hail Saeed” group, by withdrawing “Clinker” – a solid material used in the cement industry – from the port of Aden to Taiz’s Mocha city, which Saleh takes over.
Al-Hambli said on Twitter” that Saleh and Maeen had withdrew the containers from the port under the pretext that “the port stopped working.”
“There are local and regional alliances plotting against the port in favor of Islah Party in Hadramout and Tariq Saleh in Mocha.”
Al-Hambli attributed the raising of the customs tariff price to the dollar in the port of Aden by Maeen’s government being aimed at stopping the port.
The commercial sector has complained about imposing unfair levies on merchant cargo carriers arbitrarily by the military points along the road in the coalition-controlled areas after they left Aden port.
