Angry protesters closed a number of main streets in the Saudi-Emirati-occupied city of Lahj yesterday in protest against the collapse of services.
The protesters set fire to damaged tires and placed stones on a number of streets at the entrance to Al-Wahtah Sabr.
Yesterday, angry protesters also closed one of the headquarters of the UAE-backed Transitional Council militias in the Lower Markha District in the occupied Shabwa Governorate.
Local sources reported that the demonstration came in response to the general discontent with the deterioration of living and services in the district, in addition to the ongoing marginalization it suffers from in various fields, coinciding with the arrival of the so-called “Communication and Political Awareness Enhancement Team” affiliated with the Transitional Council militias to the district.
They confirmed that the protesters tore up the Transitional Council’s slogans and closed the headquarters of its affiliated militias in the district, expressing their rejection of the continuation of what they described as systematic exclusion and the absence of service projects.
The sources explained that the people of the directorate prevented the leaders of the Transitional Militia from entering the directorate center in a protest message that coincides with a state of escalating anger towards the occupation due to the worsening economic and service crisis, amid accusations that leaders loyal to the conference were behind the incident.
They pointed out that the Transitional slogans were thrown from the top of the building, amid chants of “No Transitional from today”, and they threatened to target its leaders.
The incident highlighted the growing wave of popular protests against the Transitional Militia and the government affiliated with the occupation, due to the economic collapse and its impact on the rise in food prices in addition to the deterioration of various services.
One of the most important power plants in the city of Aden, which is under the control of the occupation, went out of service. Local sources confirmed that the PetroMasila station went out of service completely yesterday evening due to a fuel shortage.
The sources indicated that the percentage of hours of deficit will rise during the day to the highest level due to the lack of any urgent interventions to supply the station with fuel.
The occupied southern regions are witnessing a tragic situation of economic collapse and the decline in the value of the Yemeni riyal against foreign currencies and the impact of this on the lives of citizens from the high cost of living and rising prices to the insecurity and chaos fueled by the occupiers and invaders and their cheap tools.
