The opposition of the Saudi coalition to the import of petroleum products into the Yemeni port of Al-Hudaidah is a great crime and shows the savagery of this aggressive coalition, which seeks victory at the cost of the lives and property of the people of Yemen.
The UN special envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths, also said that the Saudi coalition had not allowed fuel tankers to enter the port of Al-Hudaidah since earlier this year. Reuters news agency also quoted UN statements saying that aggressive coalition warships had blocked the entry of at least 13 fuel-carrying ships into the port of Al-Hudaidah. Some of the tankers, which have been licensed by the United Nations to anchor, have been detained for months, the report said.
The coalition’s move violates a number of international human rights laws and the Stockholm Agreement, which emphasizes the unimpeded entry of ships and goods into the port of al-Hudaidah. It also contradicts Security Council resolutions stating that obstacles to the entry of these tankers must be removed.
The Saudi coalition not only violates international laws and agreements but also constantly targets various parts of Yemen with its fighter jets. In this regard, Brigadier General Yahya Sari, spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, stressed that the coalition has bombed more than 266,510 times in different parts of Yemen since the start of the war in 2015.
In response to the coalition’s aggression, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, chairman of the Yemeni Supreme Revolutionary Council, stressed the need for a ceasefire in all Yemeni provinces, the lifting of the siege and the release of detained ships, and called on the Saudi, Emirati, American and Israeli aggressors to launch attacks. End all over Yemen and break the siege of the Yemeni people.
The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces also stressed that the military operation is ongoing and that the operation against Saudi Arabia will intensify until the coalition ends its attacks.
The recent military operation by the Yemeni army and popular committees, known as the “Sixth of Sha’ban”, which targeted the Saudi company Aramco with six UAVs, has dealt a severe psychological blow to the Saudi government and its crown prince. The operation showed that Saudi Arabia’s oil exports are under threat and that US air defense systems based in Saudi Arabia are incapable of countering Yemeni missiles.
In defense of their lands, the Yemenis have shifted the war to the depths of Saudi Arabia, exposing the fragility of the Saudi government structure. The Saudi regime, which has suffered extensive casualties, is finding itself in an irreversible path and is trying to free itself from the mire of Yemen.
