Al-Ajri: US-Saudi coalition Insist on Hodeidah Port Closure, 70% of Yemen’s Revenues Controlled by coalition

Member of the national negotiating delegation, Abdulmalik Al-Ajri, US-Saudi coalition insisted on continuing blockading the port of Hodeidah under the excuse that the port’s revenue goes to benefit Sana’a. The closure continues but they hardly cover any of the salaries of the state employees.

Al-Ajri explained that the Stockholm Agreement obliges the Pro-coalition government to cover the deficit to pay salaries per month, and that it exports two million barrels per month, or about $ 80 million.

He stressed that 70% of the revenues are controlled by the countries of coalition, and no one knows where it goes, pointing out that 70% of the employees are in the areas of the National Salvation Government.

Al-Ajri pointed out that oil and gas are the main resource for the budget, and salary is a fundamental right, and oil resources are sovereign and belong to the people. Therefore, allocating this resource for salary disbursement must be a priority.
