The Houthi militia - the Iranian arm in Yemen - approved a new price dose in the prices of domestic gas, in light of the continued robbery of the salaries of state employees in Sanaa and its neighboring governorates since September 2016.
On Sunday, February 7, 2021, the Houthi militia raised the price of a 20-liter container of household gas to (5640 riyals), and its value (282 riyals) per liter.
This dose is based on the price of locally produced domestic gas cylinders from the Safer area in the Ma'rib governorate. The militia calculates the value of the cylinder 20 liters and the cost of transporting it to Sana'a at about 3700 riyals for domestic consumption.
The Houthi militia sells imported domestic gas at a price of (5980 riyals) per cylinder, 20 liters, to the auto sector, factories, restaurants, and the commercial and industrial sectors.
The new price dose for domestic gas came a few days after the arrival of the ship (EUGENIA GAS) to the draft of the port of Hodeidah, which carries on board (8,501 tons) of gas.
Most consumers of this substance in Sana'a complain about the lack of packaging, bad gas cylinders and their expiration date.
And through Aqaqal Al-Harat loyal to the Houthi militia, the Houthi militia is employing the citizens' need for household gas to reap exorbitant financial profits through the outbreak of successive crises.
It is exerting political pressure on citizens to force them to gather in sectarian and sectarian activities in exchange for obtaining domestic gas cylinders.
