Yemen gov't allowed over 40 fuel shipments to Houthis without auditing revenues

ADEN-SABA
Yemen's Information Minister said that "since the Houthi militia dishonored the Stockholm Agreement, the government has allowed the passage of over 40 fuel shipments [into Houthi-controlled seaports] without auditing the resulting revenues, in response to the demands of the UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths.

"The government has not declined to any demand from the UN envoy in this regard up till now," Muammar al-Eryani told Saba on Thursday.

"The government allowed new shipments to enter Hodeidah Seaport yesterday evening."

Al-Eryani said, "fuel is available in Houthi-controlled territories in sufficient quantities to meet the entire needs there. Fuel shipments smoothly enter … on a daily basis at an average above 6000 tons, but the fuel is traded in the black market by the militia's leaders."

"Black trade with fuel secures 45% of the revenues that Houthis use to wage war against Yemen and neighboring countries."

He said the militia most recently 'looted YR 70 billion fuel revenues from the Hodeidah Central Bank. So even though forty exceptional shipments were admitted upon the request of the UN envoy, it did not help to improve the humanitarian situation or pay the public employees in the militia's areas of control."
