Saudi coalition seizes Yemeni oil ship.
A spokesman for the oil company said that the Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition today seized a new Yemeni ship carrying petroleum products.
Issam al-Mutawakil, the official spokesman for the Yemeni National Salvation Government oil company, announced the seizure of another oil ship belonging to the country this Friday evening.
The official Yemeni news agency (Saba) quoted Al-Mutawakil as saying that the Saudi-Emirati aggressor coalition today seized a new ship carrying petroleum products; However, the ship was inspected and licensed by the United Nations.
He stressed that the Saudi-Emirati coalition continues to steal ships carrying petroleum products. The Yemeni official also said that the ship was carrying 30,597 tons of diesel.
An official spokesman for the oil company stressed that with the seizure of the ship, the number of seized ships has reached three, all of which have been inspected and licensed by the United Nations.
The Yemeni official called on the international community and humanitarian and international organizations to put pressure on the aggressor coalition to adhere to the ceasefire and stop the seizure of oil ships.
There has been a recent ceasefire in Yemen, but no significant military or humanitarian progress has been made due to the Saudi coalition’s sabotage. With Sanaa’s confidence in the possibility of the Saudi coalition and the United Nations living up to their commitments waning, the signs of a ceasefire in the country are not optimistic.
In the first days of Ramadan, on April 2, 2021, the United Nations announced the implementation of a humanitarian and military ceasefire in Yemen, which was welcomed by Sanaa and the whole world.
On paper, in a humanitarian ceasefire on the cessation of all military operations, ensuring the safe and smooth movement of 18 oil ships in two months and allowing 16 flights by commercial aircraft from [specific sources] to Sanaa and vice versa, or in other words an average of two commercial flights per week has been emphasized.
Sanaa has lived up to its commitments; It has halted its military operations to advance on Saudi Arabia and suspended all offensive operations along its internal and border fronts; But the other side has not committed to stopping hostile military operations since the early hours of the ceasefire.
