These scenes reflect the great suffering of the citizens in Aden that they have endured in light of the silence of the government loyal to Saudi-led coalition, the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council  (STC), and their enjoyment  to see the citizens suffering .

According to local sources, Aden’s streets witnessed angry demonstrations this evening, in which the protesters burned tires and blocked the streets, denouncing the worsening of service standards and demanding an end to the energy outage.

Earlier today, activists had called for angry demonstrations tonight in the city to condemn the collapse of services.

According to activists, these calls are in response to the continuous collapse of the currency and essential services, as well as power outages lasting up to 10 hours each day.
