Journalist Abdul Rahman Anis warned of the collapse of the Yemeni currency against foreign currencies, indicating that this collapse would lead to the destruction of the citizen’s purchasing power, and reduce his ability to purchase basic goods and services.

Anis wrote on his Facebook page, commenting on the collapse of the Yemeni currency, followed by Scoop24: “The exchange rates reaching 403 Saudi riyals and 1,529 US dollars is something that cannot be tolerated.”

He added that the rise in exchange rates means “the disappearance of chicken, rice, and sugar from every home, the disappearance of medicine for a chronic disease from an old woman who needs it, and the disappearance of a carton of milk from a small child.”

He stressed that the rise in exchange rates “destroys the citizen’s purchasing power and embezzles parts of his salary without anyone reaching into his pocket.”

Anis called on citizens to raise their voices to demand an urgent solution to this problem, before it escalates further, and before each of you discovers that his salary is no longer enough to provide three days of meals for himself and his family.
