Employees of Electricity, oil sectors denounce US-Saudi Continued Maritime Piracy

The employees and workers of the electricity and oil sectors in Sana’a organized a protest, in front of the United Nations office, on Monday, denouncing the continued US-Saudi aggression, its maritime piracy, and the detention of fuel ships.

In the protest, the participants stressed that targeting economic and service sectors, including the electricity sector, is inconsistent with international and humanitarian charters, norms, and laws, as it results in suffering for millions of Yemenis.

In a statement, the participants confirmed that the losses of the electricity sector by the US-Saudi targeting exceeded $84 million.
The statement holds US-Saudi aggression responsible for the humanitarian catastrophe that affected the electricity sector in the capital, Sana’a, and other governorates.

The statement issued by the union of the Yemeni Oil Company clarified that the continuation of piracy on oil derivatives ships by US-Saudi aggression aims to double the suffering of the Yemeni people and starve them.
