Aden city is experiencing a severe electricity crisis, with daily outages exceeding seven hours, deepening the suffering of residents as the summer season begins and temperatures soar to record levels.
According to informed sources, the outages are primarily caused by a critical shortage of fuel for power generation, compounded by the ongoing neglect of regular maintenance—putting the entire electrical system at risk of collapse.
Sources revealed that the Warsila 2 station in the Mansoura district is in danger of shutting down within days due to dwindling fuel supplies. If operations cease, the public power grid could lose 50 megawatts of generating capacity, significantly worsening the crisis to unprecedented levels.
This deterioration in essential services is occurring amid a complete absence of leadership from the Presidential Leadership Council and the coalition-affiliated government, which remains based in Riyadh. Meanwhile, citizens continue to endure a devastating economic and humanitarian collapse.
Local sources anticipate widespread public protests in the coming weeks in response to the worsening conditions and lack of viable solutions. Calls to boycott electricity bill payments are growing louder, reflecting public frustration with the mercenary government’s failure to take meaningful action to resolve the crisis.
