Limited hours separate the capital, Aden, from a near-total power outage, as a result of the generation stations running out of fuel, amid the legitimate government's disregard for the repeated demands of the General Electricity Corporation to provide emergency quantities of diesel.

On Thursday, Salem Al-Walidi, Director General of the General Electricity Corporation in Aden, said that the Corporation was clear and explicit and announced at an early stage the fuel status and the nature of the service and sent a number of letters and appeals to all concerned and responsible authorities.

 Al-Walidi confirmed that they have not received a serious response until now.

He added that the stations have now begun to go out, and that he is in constant contact with all concerned parties, noting that he has presented a number of solutions that must be worked out.

The Director of Aden Electricity stressed the need for urgent action in order to spare the capital and its residents the suffering of total power outages, especially since the temperature is high.
