Deterioration of Economic Situation in Occupied Provenances, Result of US-Saudi Aggression
The Economic Committee in Sana’a confirmed that the deterioration of the economic and living situation in occupied regions is a result of what US-Saudi aggression has been doing for more than eight years.
The committee indicated in a statement that the deterioration and collapse of the national currency is the result of planned action by US-Saudi aggression.
The statement noted that the US-Saudi aggression is still plundering the proceeds of sovereign wealth and refusing to use it to alleviate the suffering of the people of Yemen. The statement held the US-Saudi aggression to be fully responsible for the suffering of the Yemeni people since the start of the aggression, siege and economic war on Yemen.
Earlier, the Economic Committee in Sana’a reviewed the statement issued by the ambassadors of the United States of America, Britain and France, which revealed the insistence of these countries to continue the economic war against the Yemeni People.
The Economic Committee said in a statement that “the statement of US, Britain and France present fallacies and twisting the facts, to cover up their hostile actions against the Yemeni People.”
The committee confirmed that America, Britain and France were and still are the main and masterminds of the aggression and siege against Yemen, and they use the economy as a weapon is no longer a secret to anyone.
“America, Britain and France were the ones who planned and gave the green light to transfer the central bank’s jobs from Sana’a, and to cut salaries of state employees and they are working today openly to prevent any efforts to disburse salaries, and even described the demand for disbursement as “an extremist” demand,” the committee said.
The statement pointed out that “the deterioration of the humanitarian and economic situation in Yemen is nothing but the result of a deliberate action by the aggression, and behind it, America, Britain and France. United Nations reports confirmed its use of the economy as a weapon of war, and created the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, with evidence that the human and economic suffering in the occupied territories was and still is the worst.”
The committee also confirmed that the decision to prevent the looting of sovereign wealth came to protect the rights of the Yemeni people, and to prevent the use of its revenues in war. Where the decision was met with the satisfaction of all Yemenis knowing how the revenues were supplied to foreign banks and used to enrich mercenaries abroad, and to finance their war against the people.
The Economic committee considered the payment of salaries and pensions to state employees as one of the rights of the Yemeni people that can be covered by part of the oil and gas revenues. There is no complication in that, except that America, Britain and France want to deprive the Yemeni people of those revenues and even use them against them.
