Aden, NewsYemen, special:
On the second of this month, a commercial vessel unloaded nearly 10,000 tons of imported domestic gas at the berth of the Hodeidah port, which is under the control of the terrorist Houthi militia (western Yemen).
This imported quantity was enough to end the unprecedented crisis in domestic gas in the Houthi areas, if it was pumped into the official market for consumers.
According to the ship’s movement in the port of Hodeidah on March 2, the ship “Gaz Energy” arrived loaded with (9488) tons of domestic gas, and entered the berth of the port for unloading on this date, while the militias were forced to recognize this shipment on the 13th of this month. The same month, it said it began unloading its cargo in preparation for its distribution in the markets.
Instead, the Houthis worked to hide the quantity in private warehouses, in preparation for its trading on the black market, which it operates, with the advent of Ramadan, which witnesses an increasing demand for cooking gas, and thus achieve the greatest material gains.
In parallel, the Houthi militia has tended to intensify its campaign of media allegations that it regularly launches, aimed at blaming the domestic gas crisis, as well as the crises of oil derivatives that it manufactures in its areas of influence, on the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia.
For its part, Safer Gas Company confirmed that 55 percent of its production went to militia-controlled areas, explaining that during the past year it produced about 26,687 gas trailers and distributed them to all governorates according to population density, where the share of the governorates under Houthi control was about 14,739. Gas trailers, equivalent to more than 32 million cylinders and more than 55 percent of total production.
These figures refute the slander of the Houthis, deny their allegations of not supplying gas to their areas of control, and reveal the fact that they have manipulated and exploited it to achieve personal wealth for their leaders and sold it on the black market affiliated with them at exorbitant prices.
Documents also showed that the Houthi militias deliberately fabricate a cooking gas crisis in their areas of control to double the suffering of the population, which was confirmed on the other hand by official statements issued by its authority in Sanaa.
Investing after the crisis
After creating a fuel crisis that crushes the residents of Sanaa and the rest of the cities in northern Yemen, the Houthis have used it to incite against the Arab coalition and mobilize fighters to their ranks, despite the militia's admission through the highest nominal authority in Sanaa (the Political Council) that it has detained hundreds of oil tankers in Al-Jawf Governorate, north east of the country.
But this militia entity, in the same document recognizing the seizure of fuel trailers by the Houthis and preventing their access to Sanaa, decided to “take advantage of the wave of popular anger due to the lack of derivatives for military mobilization and direct the wave against the countries of the Arab coalition.
For weeks, the Houthi militia has been implementing the widest campaign to attract and recruit fighters to its ranks, in many cities, tribal and rural areas, targeting hundreds of young men, children and adults, taking advantage of the state of popular discontent with the fuel crisis that it originally made.
For weeks, the Houthis have been holding more than 500 trailers at checkpoints called "customs ports" along the roads linking the liberated areas and the areas under their control.
The Houthi militia used to create stifling crises in oil derivatives, and exploited them politically and militarily, in addition to achieving the highest financial gains by selling the accumulated quantities of oil, diesel and gas on the black market at record prices.
It claims from time to time that the Saudi-led coalition is preventing cargo ships and oil derivatives from reaching the port of Hodeidah, allegations that ship movement data in the port deny, not to mention the written permissions granted by the coalition for ships and ships to enter the port.
What is remarkable in Yemen is the handling of international bodies and United Nations humanitarian agencies with the recent crisis in oil derivatives in Sana’a, from the Houthis’ perspective, ignoring the facts that confirm the group’s involvement in suffocating the population in its areas of influence with fabricated crises, as well as depriving them of humanitarian aid that they provide. provided by these international agencies.
Since its control over the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and reaching the port of Hodeidah, the Houthi militia has mastered theft of international aid and violated agreements, including the Stockholm Agreement.
During the past four years, the Houthi militia has targeted and looted humanitarian relief convoys and prevented them from reaching civilians, atrocities confirmed by reports, statements and statements by the United Nations itself.
