Documents revealed a conflict between the Prime Minister of the Sharia government, Mouin Abdel Malek, and the Minister of Transport, affiliated with the Qatar-Turkey Stream, Saleh al-Jabwani, on granting licenses to oil derivative ships arriving in the port of Aden, in the south of the country.
Al-Jabwani sent a letter to the interim president, Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, in which he claimed that the Prime Minister confiscated the powers of the Economic Committee, in addition to withdrawing the dependency of the technical office to attach it to the Supreme Economic Council, according to the Minister.
"Al-Jabwani" said that the Prime Minister demanded the leadership of the joint forces in the Arab coalition to direct the evacuation and humanitarian operations cell (the entity that grants entry permits to Yemeni ports and airports) not to deal or approve entry permits except by the technical office of the Supreme Economic Council, as well as not to approve any requests prevent or seize any shipment from another party
Earlier, Prime Minister Dr. Moein Abdul Malik sent a message to the commander of the joint forces of Aden, Lieutenant General Fahd bin Turki, asking him not to deal or adopt any permits or a letter to enter any of the fuel ships to any of the Yemeni ports except in accordance with the statement issued from the technical office of the Supreme Economic Council."
In the letter, he called for "not responding to any requests or letters requesting that any shipment be prevented from entering or withheld from any other body other than the Supreme Economic Council."
The Prime Minister considered the decision to reconstitute the Supreme Economic Council as an enhancement of "the state's ability to control all ports in the Republic of Yemen in a manner that helps to dry up the sources of funding for the Houthi militias.
