The spokesman for the Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC), Essam al-Mutawakel, confirmed that the United Nations provides cover for US-Saudi piracy of fuel ships.
Al-Mutawakel stated to Almasirah on Sunday that the detention of the fuel ships is a continuation of the maritime piracy that did not stop even under the UN-sponsored truce.
He pointed out that the detention of fuel ships leads to fines for the detained ships, and this is reflected in the citizens.
Al-Mutawakel noted that Yemen’s infrastructure is not sufficient to store enough quantities of fuel, so the supply situation is affected with the detention of oil ships.
He demanded the entry of oil ships, blaming the aggression and the United Nations for the continuation of piracy and its repercussions.
The YPC’s spokesman called on the United Nations to act as a neutral party in the face of maritime piracy.
