Once again, the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm, in Sanaa and its neighboring governorates raised the price of a gallon of 20-liter gasoline to 15,000 riyals.
On the morning of Monday, May 24, 2021, Sana'a witnessed the signs of a suffocating crisis in oil derivatives, with hundreds of cars and public vehicles being shot in front of limited filling stations.
This crisis will raise the price of gasoline on the black market run by the Houthi militia to approximately 18,000 riyals per gallon of 20 liters.
And at the end of last April, there were limited stations for filling oil derivatives that opened their doors to consumers to sell a gallon of 20 liters of gasoline at prices ranging from 11 to 14 thousand riyals.
Owners of stations in Sanaa accuse the Houthi militia of repeatedly fabricating crises of oil derivatives, and causing doubling of the burdens on citizens with the aim of achieving fictional financial profits and gaining from the fabrication of crises.
The Houthi militia seeks to continue the oil derivatives crisis, and to maintain the black market, by deliberately closing derivatives filling stations, rationing working hours for operating stations, and creating obstacles to stop them.
The report of the Security Council's team of experts accused the Houthi militias of using oil in a political recruitment process, stressing that the oil company, which is under the control of the militias, to legalize the distribution of fuel is unjustified, because the quantities distributed inside the country have remained constant on an annual basis.
The report also indicated that Tamco, owned by Ahmed Al-Muqbili, now manages 30% of the fuel import market in Hodeidah and then proceeded to import through the port of Aden, and the team's investigation revealed that the company supplied oil to Star Plus company owned by Al-Faqih and its partners.
