Citizens in Lahj Governorate said that the Lahj Electricity Administration carried out, seven days ago, a comprehensive power cut campaign for those it described as defaulters in paying consumption bills. However, since last Monday evening until the time of writing this news, Lahj is still without electricity despite many consumers heading to pay. .
According to citizens, the cutting process was followed by a diesel crisis that continues to this moment without any solutions, and what citizens consider an indication that the year 2024 will be worse than 2023 AD, during which Lahj experienced the worst summer in its history, not to mention its winter.

The city of Al-Houta and the districts of Tuban enter the seventh day in light of a complete, comprehensive and continuous power outage, without any solutions on the horizon by the local authority, which is accused of taking pleasure in the suffering of citizens and at the same time being oblivious to their needs.

Citizens’ complaints about the Lahj Electricity Administration do not stop, as the people of the Sunni center in Al-Fayoush have previously appealed to the Presidential Leadership Council to put an end to the capriciousness of Lahj electricity officials and control the fate of thousands of families in an individual manner that has no connection to state law.

They accused Governor Ahmed Al-Turki of being unable to stop the corruption taking place in the electricity company in the governorate, which wreaked havoc and torture on citizens burdened by crises, disasters and shocks.
Citizens assert that Lahj governorate is the exception in corruption and the collapse of services, and that it is experiencing a catastrophic situation in services that is worse than The years that followed the 2015 invasion by the Houthi militia and its expulsion from it.
Citizens appealed to the Presidential Command Council, the government, and the Southern Transitional Council, to end the period of drought and the collapse of services by dismissing the “Turkish” governor and the director of electricity, stressing that eight years of torment are enough since the Turk took over the affairs of the country. The governorate and its services are in a terrible deterioration in electricity, communications, etc., pointing out that if those concerned see this as good, then it should be circulated to the rest of the governorates.

Citizens demanded that the Lahj electricity issue be separated from the capital, Aden, so that the governorate’s electricity administration does not continue to use this as an excuse and link its corruption and inability to Aden’s electricity, and that whenever fuel is available for Aden’s electricity, this will reflect positively on Lahj, stressing that Lahj lives its seventh day without a flash of electricity, while The capital, Aden, despite the fuel crisis, electricity still comes from time to time, while in Lahj, this has had an impact on people’s lives, especially in providing water in homes.
