It is expected that the capital, Aden, will witness a complete interruption of the electrical current at midnight (12:00) as a result of the president’s station’s departure due to the depletion of crude oil. This development comes after the Hadramout Tribe Alliance cut fuel supplies from the city, which increases the severity of the electrical crisis.

For the first time in the history of the city, the government did not purchase any shipments from diesel or diesel for the generation stations for more than three months, which led to all stations stopping work, except for the president's station that relied on crude oil.

Also, the solar power plant will not be able to feed the electrical network, as it needs a main control in the loads, such as the Petromsila station or the Mansoura station, which has also stopped working.

We call on the government to assume its responsibilities towards citizens and find urgent solutions to this worsening crisis.
