Sana'a, NewsYemen:
In return for the aggravation of the oil derivatives crisis in Sanaa and the neighboring governorates, the Ministry of Oil and Minerals run by the Houthi militia - the Iranian arm in Yemen - was busy on Sunday, February 27, 2022 with what it called a cultural event in memory of the death of Hussein al-Houthi, brother of Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.
Thousands of cars and public vehicles are lined up in long queues on the public streets of Sana'a in front of stations for filling oil derivatives, while the price of a 20-liter can of gasoline on the Houthi black market jumped to 30,000 riyals.
In the event, Ahmed Abdullah Daris, who was appointed Minister of Oil in Sana'a, claimed that Hussein al-Houthi "restored the dignity, freedom and dignity of the Yemeni people", and that Yemen was able to confront what he described as "the forces of arrogance and confront them strongly and firmly to preserve the sovereignty and independence of the country, its security and stability."
The Houthi militia had approved a new price dose in the price of gasoline on February 10, according to which it raised the price of a 20-liter tank of gasoline to (9900) riyals, an increase of (1400) riyals from the previous price (8500) riyals.
The Minister of Oil in Sanaa ignored the aggravation of the humanitarian situation and the repercussions of the Houthi dose on transportation wages, the prices of products, food and consumer goods, and the exacerbation of the horrific humanitarian catastrophe experienced by citizens in the governorates under Houthi control as a result of the continued deterioration of the national currency, as well as the suspension of salaries for about 1.2 million employees.
From time to time, the Houthi militia seeks to create crises of oil derivatives, and to feed its black market with these materials to achieve imaginary financial profits, by deliberately closing derivatives filling stations, rationing working hours for operating stations, and creating obstacles to stop them.
The Houthi militia receives oil subsidies from Tehran, which it sells to citizens at prices three times higher than its prices in the global market, and imposed successive price doses on the prices of these materials, reaching three times their price in 2014.
