Employees of the Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC), Trade Unions and its affiliated bodies, staged a vigil in front of the UN Headquarters in the capital Sana’a after Friday prayers dubbed, “Your silence is a war crime.”
At the vigil, the company spokesman, Amin al-Shabbati confirmed that the Saudi-led coalition is continuing its arbitrary measures by detaining oil ships and preventing them from reaching the port of Hodeida.
Al-Shabbati noted that the aggression added another ship to the list of detained oil vessels, although the UN envoy spoke in his briefing to the UN Security Council that oil derivatives ships were arriving at the port of Hodeida unhindered and that the crisis had been avoided.
The total number of ships held by the aggression reached to five oil ships carrying 52,000 tons of gasoline and more than 80,000 tons of diesel, he said.
He condemned the UN’s silence and shameful position towards the detention of oil derivatives ships.
The protesters called on the UN to fulfill its duties.
They confirmed their continuation of the open sit-in in front of the UN headquarter until all the demands of the protesters are met, including releasing all oil ships, facilitating their access to the port of Hodeida and ensuring that they are not seized in the future.
The protesters also reiterated their calls on the UN to ensure that Sana’a International Airport, Ras Issa port, and the Petroleum company and its facilities will be kept safe from being targeted by the aggression forces.
