Pak Sahafat – A member of the Sana’a cabinet pointed out that the Saudi coalition provides only a small part of Yemen’s oil revenues to the Yemenis, and said that the Yemenis do not want charity and their salaries should be paid from their own oil revenues.
According to the International group of Pak Sahafat news agency, Hamid Al-Muzjaji, Minister of Consultancy and member of the Sana’a Cabinet, announced that the Sana’a negotiating team emphasized the need to pay employees’ salaries in the recent negotiations with the Omani mediator.
A member of the Sana’a Council of Ministers said in an interview with “Al-Masira” channel: The aggressor coalition is still deceiving and wants to get out of this predicament; But they want it in a way that is not fair for our nation and we will not be satisfied with this either.
Hamid Al-Muzjaji added: Our demands are clear and right. We want them to return the revenues from our resources to pay the salaries. We do not want to be given charity.

Al-Muzjaji also explained: The problem is that the salaries paid from Hodeidah port are irrational because the imports of Hodeidah port are a small part of the oil revenues and do not exceed seven percent of Yemen’s oil and gas revenues from which the salaries were paid.
He also mentioned: 90% of the revenues are in the hands of the American aggressor coalition and are deposited in Al-Ahli Bank in Jeddah. Moving the central bank to Aden was a wrong decision that had its own disastrous consequences. However, they did not pay salaries to all employees.
This Yemeni advisory minister also stated: In the recent talks, we insisted on paying salaries from oil and gas revenues, reopening airports and ports, lifting the blockade and withdrawing foreign invaders from all our lands.
Saudi Arabia, at the head of an Arab coalition and supported by the United States, from April 6, 2014, with the claim of trying to return the resigned president of Yemen to power, carried out military aggression against Yemen and blockaded the country by land, air and sea.
This military aggression did not achieve any of the goals of the Saudi coalition, and it has only resulted in the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of Yemenis, the displacement of millions of people, the destruction of the country’s infrastructure, and the spread of famine and infectious diseases.
