The Yemeni legitimate government accused Houti militias of starting Friday to implement a plot aiming to loot around 500,000 oil barrels from oilfields in Marib - Safir and Port of Ras Isa, although the government warned that this operation would ruin the pipeline. Meanwhile, Houthi militias warned in regions under their control merchants and citizens from dealing with the new monetary print of the local currency, knowing that this print was issued by the legit government in Aden. Minister of Information Moammar al-Eryani warned Houthi militia from extracting crude oil. He said, in a statement on Friday, that this act falls under the organized looting policies of the public money. The Yemeni minister renewed previous warnings of the legit government and Safir Company, which is responsible for producing oil in Marib, from emptying the pipeline since this would ruin it and lead to the state’s failure in exporting crude oil. Houthi militias decided to sell the amount existing in the pipeline, an estimate of 600,000 barrels, to the Agriculture Cooperative Union. Further, reliable sources in Sanaa noted that the insurgent militias aim to sell around 2 million barrels which the legit government failed to sell due to the Houthi coup in September 2014. The government called on the United Nations to rescue the Red Sea from a possible environmental disaster. Notably, the pro-Iran Houthi group has worked, since the beginning of the coup, on laying hands over oil in regions where it rules through disrupting the work of the government oil company, Yemen Petroleum Company.
