Sana’a reveals attempts to export oil and warns of the consequences of circumventing the embargo decision without implementing the condition

Sana’a renewed its warning through media officials on Thursday to the Ben Mubarak government, loyal to the Saudi-Emirati coalition, not to return to exporting oil, affirming that Sana’a continues to prohibit exports until the revenues of oil derivatives are supplied to pay salaries for employees in the north and south.

Sana’a – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

Nasr Al-Din Amer, the head of the Yemeni news agency “Saba,” confirmed in a post on the “X” platform that what he described as new attempts to circumvent the decision to ban oil exports are prohibited and their consequences are known, warning foreign companies that they must realize this and avoid violations, reiterating that Sana’a will not allow oil looting again and the Yemeni people without salaries, according to his expression.

In the same context, Ibrahim Al-Saraji, a journalist closes to the Higher Economic Committee in Sana’a, said that Sana’a will not back down from the decision to ban oil exports except after agreeing to allocate the revenues of Yemenis’ wealth to the Central Bank in Sana’a and earmarking it to pay the withheld salaries of employees.

Al-Saraji mentioned in a post on the “X” platform that the recent agreement signed by Sana’a with Saudi Arabia and the government loyal to it was limited only to flights and the banking sector, “not allowing the resumption of looting the people’s resources,” adding that “circumventing the demands of the Yemeni people will be confronted firmly and forcefully” without hesitation.

Observers believe that these statements from Sana’a reveal that there are attempts by the Saudi-Emirati coalition government to export oil shipments from the oil export ports in southern Yemen and break the embargo imposed by Sana’a on “looting Yemeni wealth.”

It is worth mentioning that Sana’a imposed a decision to ban the export of Yemeni oil from ports under the control of the coalition and its allied government in September 2022, and at that time, the Yemeni armed forces carried out several warning military operations, warning of companies’ ships that did not comply with Sana’a’s decision, which led to a complete halt to exports. Sana’a conditions the resumption of exporting Yemeni oil derivatives on earmarking its revenues to pay salaries that have been cut off since the transfer of the functions of the Central Bank from Sanaa to Aden in September 2016.
