Mocha, Newsyemen, private:
Military police, led by Bassam Al-Harq, arrested 15 African citizens on Saturday evening while trying to smuggle food from Mocha to the countries of the Horn of Africa.
The arrest took place on the Al-Kedhah coast, where the police seized a boat that was intended for smuggling, along with foodstuffs that were being shipped.
A local source said that four boats filled with different food items fled before the police managed to seize them.
The operation's frustration came shortly after the seizure of a truckload of flour transporting it from Mocha to the beach, where boats intended for smuggling to Africa.
The people of Mocha, with responsibility for the lack of food, are active smuggling operations, which may threaten the depletion of food stocks for the inhabitants of this city.
