Govt says Houthis plotted new fuel crisis for militia's own advantages

ADEB-SABA
Yemen's Government accused the Houthi rebel of plotting a new fuel crisis in their areas of control for the rebel militia's own advantages.

The Economic Committee, a consultative body concerned with the Yemeni economy and established under exceptional circumstances, said, "The Houthi rebel militia prevented merchants from applying for governmental permits for importing fuel in a clear plot to create fuel crisis in their regions … to exploit the resulting suffering of the Yemeni people before the international community, and to uphold the black market which the militia run and draw on to finance their media and terrorist activity."

In a statement to Saba, the Committee said the militia wants to "fail the efforts of the government and the Arab Coalition backing it as they seek to improve the humanitarian conditions in Yemen."

"The Houthi move followed the UN peace mediator's appreciation of the government's overture to resolve the fuel crisis, pay civilian servicemen in Houthi-held areas, and granted fuel-laden vessels permits to enter the [Houthi-held] Hodeidah seaport."
