Houthis using fuel to blackmail international community

The terrorist Houthi militia uses the fuel crisis in the areas it controls in Yemen to blackmail the United Nations.
The militia takes the
fuel available in these areas and then sells it in the black market to amass
wealth at the expense of the Yemeni people.
According to the Yemeni
government, 59% of the fuel arriving in Yemen from other countries goes into
areas controlled by the Houthis.
The fuel arrives in Yemen
through four of the country's ports, a report by the government-affiliated
Supreme Economic Council, said.
In the first three months
of this year, 1.5 million tons of fuel arrived in Yemen, most of which had gone
into area controlled by the Houthis, the report says.
The remaining amount of
fuel went into areas liberated from Houthi control, the report adds.
The legitimate Yemeni
government works hard to ensure that the fuel would go to industrial facilities
and humanitarian organizations operating in the liberated areas, it says.
In the first quarter of
this year, 40 fuel tankers arrived in Hudaydah Port at the request of the
United Nations, according to the report.
It adds that the Houthis
had looted over 70 billion Yemeni riyals from the Central Bank of Yemen.
This money came from the
fees paid by fuel tankers arriving in Yemeni ports, the report says.
It says the Houthis had
turned these fees into a weapon for killing the Yemenis, namely by bankrolling
their military operations in different areas in Yemen.
