The electricity crisis in the capital, Aden, in conjunction with the high temperature, sparked a wave of angry reactions in the southern street, amid official accusations of ignoring the matter by the government and the Presidential Council.
Yesterday evening, Saturday, the General Electricity Corporation of Aden appreciated the intervention of the governor of the capital, Ahmed Lamlas, by directing the purchase of emergency fuel to ensure the continuation of the operation of the generating stations and the non-stop service, after the fuel stock of diesel and diesel is about to run out and there are no quantities that contribute to the continuity of service.
While the Corporation called on the Presidential Leadership Council to immediately intervene and oblige the concerned government agencies to provide and secure fuel for power generation stations during the current summer season, it confirmed that it had previously informed all concerned government agencies of this, but unfortunately, these reports were not dealt with seriously, according to the Corporation .
This clear indication of the official failure towards the electricity crisis sparked a wave of anger among southern activists and media professionals on social media over the continued suffering of the people of Aden and the liberated areas due to electricity for the eighth year in a row, and more than a year after the formation of the Presidential Leadership Council.
Where the southern journalist, Yasser Al-Yafei, believes that Aden is deliberately plunging into crises, considering that the city is paying the price for its victory over Al-Houthi and terrorism, warning by saying: depleting the dignity and health of the Adeni citizen is no longer absolutely acceptable.
While Al-Yafei wonders about the role of the Transitional Council’s ministers in the government, and the role of the Transitional Council itself in what is happening to the people of Aden.” Journalist Adel Al-Maduri indicates that there is a state of tension that began to widen in the southern street due to the deteriorating situation, warning that “electricity will be the match” for the exit of the street in the south.
This is confirmed by a member of the General Assembly of the Transitional Council, Waddah bin Attia, who warned of the explosion of a popular revolution "if people's living conditions and necessary services, especially electricity, are not addressed," stressing the existence of "tampering and corruption that develops and expands with systematic action as a kind of political struggle at the expense of people's lives and livelihoods." He concluded, warning that "the citizen's patience has run out."
Signs of congestion and anger in the south were evident through the sharp attack launched by many activists against the background of the electricity crisis, against the continued survival of the Transitional Council within the framework of the Presidential Leadership Council in light of the failure and inability to manage the file of services and the economy more than a year after the formation of the Council.
The southern writer Saeed Bakran expresses his rejection of what he calls "the partnership with the forces of corruption and hatred that cut off electricity from the residents of Aden and prevent fuel from its stations in this deadly summer," considering it "a sinful, unjust and false partnership," calling on the Transitional Council to leave "this partnership immediately and this one." A national and moral responsibility," he said.
