Sana'a, NewsYemen, private:
The Yemen Gas Company, affiliated with the Houthi militia, announced a new price for domestic gas cylinders in Sanaa and the rest of its areas of control.
The company confirmed that gas cylinders will be distributed to citizens through the district leaders at an amount of 8350 riyals instead of the previous price of 4500 riyals.
The gas company said that the above-mentioned price is the price of imported gas, from which citizens will be supplied to cover part of the deficit resulting from the sector on trailers, as the quantities that will arrive from SAFER will be sold in the same previous system and cylinders through the company’s system for an amount of “4900 riyals” and through the system Agents in the amount of “5900 riyals”.
The Houthi Gas Company justified the new pricing by publishing a document issued by its operations directed to several of its affiliates, claiming that the sector continued on domestic gas trailers, which were transported from Safer in the exhibition area, on the line “Al-Hosoun - Radmiya Bin Ma’ili - Safer”, and in order to alleviate the suffering of citizens, the ration program for citizens will be implemented via district leaders from imported gas.
Another circulating document confirmed the arrival of a gas vessel on the 2nd of this month at the port of Hodeidah, bearing the name GAS Energy, affiliated to the Sinbad Maritime Company, owned by Houthi leader Abdullah al-Wazir.
Citizens and activists accused the militia of fabricating the crisis with the aim of selling its imported gas stocks at the new price of 300% for the benefit of the Houthi leader, the minister, and for developing the black markets that generate large sums of money.
While the legitimate government and the Safer Gas Company did not issue any clarification in this regard.
As usual, the militia repeatedly provokes crises of domestic gas and fuel in order to raise its prices, amid accusations that it continues to detain tankers loaded with fuel and gas at its checkpoints in the governorates of Al-Bayda and Al-Jawf and not allow them to enter their areas of control.
