Popular discontent and anger are rising in the southern and eastern regions under occupation as a result of the collapse of the riyal and the insane rise in prices that have become beyond the capacity of citizens.
With these tragic living conditions, summer has begun, with temperatures gradually rising, along with deteriorating electricity services and frequent power outages lasting more than 10 hours in Aden and 16 hours in areas of Hadramaut, compounding the suffering of citizens.
This all comes at a time when the aggression’s mercenaries are living in hotels in the diaspora capitals, benefiting from the crumbs provided by the Saudi and Emirati occupiers in exchange for plundering resources and tearing apart the social fabric.
Civilians in Aden complain of prolonged power outages, with outages lasting up to eight consecutive hours, compared to only two hours of power. This is a scene that is repeated daily without any radical solutions.
Citizens expressed their discontent with what they described as “false promises” made by the relevant authorities affiliated with the mercenary government regarding improved electricity service, stressing that their suffering is exacerbated by the rising temperatures and the lack of alternatives.
Residents demanded immediate intervention to save the electrical system from complete collapse, calling on the mercenary government to assume its responsibilities and provide real solutions to end the power outages and restore normalcy.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni riyal recorded a new decline against foreign currencies in Aden, exceeding the 2,500 riyal mark to the dollar, and the Saudi riyal exceeding 660, amid growing anxiety among economic and living circles.
With the continued rapid collapse of the local currency against foreign currencies, citizens’ crises are worsening and the cost of living is increasing, coinciding with the suspension of salaries and the lack of job opportunities.
This collapse has caused a new wave of rising prices for food and basic commodities, exacerbating citizens’ living conditions to an unprecedented degree.
