Sanaa, NewsYemen, Exclusive:
In light of a stifling transportation crisis, the Houthi militia controlling the capital, Sana'a, continues its unlimited support for traders of oil derivatives in the "black market", by issuing unfair orders against citizens and owners of transport vehicles.
Adel Al-Rajhi, the owner of a bus he has just bought a few days ago in search of a source of livelihood for him and his family, said: The suffering of people in the recent period of transportation due to the lack of transport buses is severe, which leads them to wait sometimes for more than half an hour.
He added, this comes as a result of long queues in front of the filling stations, which may extend for a day or two in order to fill (30 liters), which is the permissible quantity according to the new orders.
The matter does not end here, but rather the owners of the transport buses are not allowed to fill again and have to wait for six days, knowing that 30 liters is not enough for even one day.
This is happening in the capital, Sana'a, by the Houthi authorities without feeling any responsibility for the suffering of the people, despite the fact that the successive crises in oil derivatives are fabricated, aiming to occupy people and starve them.
Al-Rajhi continues his speech to "NewsYemen": If we think of buying gasoline on the black market, 20 liters costs at least 10,000 riyals at the present time, which is a very large amount that is not commensurate with the specified transportation prices.
Al-Rajhi demanded the necessity of working out a solution to this problem and bearing the responsibility on the part of those concerned, either allowing the bus tank to be fully filled or at least 30 liters, but every two days.
Al-Rajhi, a thirty-year-old man with a family who works to support them, complained that the matter had reached an intolerable level due to arbitrary orders, the high cost of living and the black market.
He was surprised by the people's patience and the continued waiting in the tours and stations of buses without a reaction.
The capital, Sanaa, and the rest of the cities under the authority of the Houthi militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, are experiencing successive crises, the price of which is being paid by the simple citizen, those with limited income, and the employee whose salary was cut off 4 years ago.
