Gas cylinder price in Aden reaches imaginary numbers

ADEN, Jan. 21 (YPA) – The price of a domestic gas cylinder in the port city of Aden on Saturday reached imaginary numbers, after the recent decisions of the government loyal to the Saudi-led coalition.

Activists on social media reported that the price of a domestic gas cylinder reached more than 13,000 riyals during the past hours, amid widespread local condemnation of the decision to raise the price of customs tariffs, oil and gas, and electricity and water tariffs by the government, headed by Moein Abdulmalik.

They emphasized that the sudden increase in the price of domestic gas, the highest in years, contributed to the recovery of the black market, and the gas absence in direct sales stations.

Activists stated that the pro-government of Moein Abdulmalik is leading the people of the southern provinces to famine and a real catastrophe without improving the economy and fulfilling the promises and illusions that it marketed to them during the past years.

Activists in the southern provinces demanded the cancellation of these decisions, which they described as deadly, threatening to take to the streets to overthrow the government.

These disastrous decisions against the citizens were supported and welcomed by the British Ambassador to the pro-coalition government, Richard Oppenheim, who considered them a step to avoid future economic consequences.

Statements issued by labor unions in Aden, last week, called on the people of the city and the rest of the unions in the rest of the provinces to escalate popularly against these decisions, which will affect the people’s livelihood and exacerbate their suffering.
