Oil Company employees rally in Sanaa to protest on sea piracy against oil ships

SANAA, Aug. 28 (YPA) – Dozens of Yemen’s Oil Company employees denounced in a protest rally on Sunday the shameful international silence regarding piracy imposed by the Saudi-led coalition forces on oil derivatives ships.

In the rally, organized in front of the United Nations office in Sanaa, the Executive Director of the Oil Company, Ammar Al-Adari, confirmed that the United Nations is a key partner in doubling the suffering of Yemenis, indicating that fuel is a vital and essential commodity that criminalizes its detention and preventing it from reaching civilians.

“The coalition is currently holding four oil derivatives ships in light of the continuation of the temporary truce after the expiry of nearly a month from the extension of the truce, and today we have two ships in Djibouti, one of which is gas, and the other is diesel, he added.
Al-Adari stated that only 33 out of the 54 ships detained were released during the truce, and currently two diesel ships are still being held off the coast of Jizan.

Meanwhile, the participants held the United Nations responsible for not complying with all the provisions of the armistice and not carrying out its responsibilities to pressure the coalition to implement the truce items.

They condemned the falsification of facts mad by the envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, in his briefings to the Security Council and his talk about the smooth entry of oil ships to the port of Hodeida and the guarantee of this body and its officials to implement all the provisions of the armistice, which did not have its impact in the desired and desired way.
