Coalition forces fabricate fuel crisis in Marib city
MARIB, Nov. 04 (YPA) – Marib city is witnessing a stifling fuel crisis, after stations stopped selling oil to citizens, as they were not supplied with it from the Safer fields.
The price of a benzene liter on the black market has recorded fantastic figures, which doubled the suffering of citizens.
A local source indicated that the price of a 20-liter gallon on the black market ranges between 25,000 riyals and 30,000 riyals, which is a record in the oil and gas province.
The source explained that the authority of the Saudi-led coalition forces fabricated the fuel crisis after stopping production in the Safer fields under the pretext of maintenance, and transferred the Safer company’s annual stock, which usually covers the deficit, to the black market to sell it and make imaginary profits at the expense of the suffering of citizens.
A wide wave of popular discontent pervaded the coalition-occupied areas against the corruption and looting of the wealth of the province by the coalition mercenaries, he added.
Press reports and documents have revealed great corruption and organized looting of oil and gas revenues extracted from the Safer fields, estimated at billions of dollars annually, going into the pockets of influential people and leaders in the pro-coalition Islah Party.
The continuous collapse of the illegal currency printed by the coalition mercenaries also caused a crazy rise in the prices of goods and foodstuffs in the city, where the price of one dollar against the local currency reached 1,465 riyals, doubling the suffering of the citizens.
On the other hand, the liberated districts in Marib are experiencing great security stability, as well as the stability of commodity and fuel prices, like other free districts, thanks to the policies adopted by the Higher Economic Committee in Sanaa.
