Aden governor warns coalition forces against ongoing plundering of Yemeni fish wealth
ADEN, Oct. 30 (YPA) – The governor of Aden, Tariq Sallam, warned the Saudi-led coalition forces against the ongoing plundering of fish wealth, abduction and murdering of Yemeni fishermen in the country’s coasts and waters.
In a statement to Yemeni News Agency (SABA), he explained that the Yemeni state represented by Sanaa government will spare no effort in protecting the capabilities and wealth of the homeland, defending the rights of Yemenis to practice fishing freely, and deterring anyone who tries to use the Yemeni coasts for his own ambitions.
He stressed that Yemen’s coasts and waters would not be permissible to aspirants and aggressors, and anyone who dares to harm Yemen’s maritime resources will be beaten with an iron fist under any justification or pretext.
Sallam pointed out that the geographical location of Yemen and its sprawling coastline have made it the object of ambitions of external powers seeking to exploit the country’s marine wealth, plunder its resources, and deprive the Yemeni people of their rights.
Sallam pointed out that Yemen, while it seeks honorable peace, will not accept that its capabilities and rights are within the reach of invaders and greedy people from any country.
He said, “the operation of the Armed Forces in the port of Dhabba is only the tip of the iceberg, especially after the leadership’s directives and the constant warnings to foreign companies that are working to plunder Yemen’s wealth,” stressing that Yemen will protect its land, sovereignty and the rights of its people.
The governor of Aden indicated that the forces of aggression made the occupied governorates a private property, to practice looting and tampering with their wealth, and to exploit the people’s resources, which is rejected by all the Yemeni people, warning the countries of aggression against continuing to use the coasts of Yemen and looting its wealth.
He stressed that the Yemeni people will continue to move towards restoring the full Yemeni sovereignty and protecting the rights and gains of the nation.
