Judge Noura added that “any procedures related to banks assume and must take into account the rights of customers in these banks.”

Noura stated that “one of the Central Bank’s first duties is to protect customers’ deposits in these banks and their poor lives, and not to enable these banks to deplete depositors’ money, and to shirk their obligations to protect people’s money deposited with them, especially since the banks in Aden refuse to enable customers to withdraw from their deposits.” Under the pretext of the lack of liquidity, whether in riyals or dollars

Judge Noura pointed out that “these banks are open about their position that contradicts the most basic terms of the contracts concluded with these banks, and the Central Bank will be a party to accountability if it does not fulfill its duty of protecting the funds deposited in these banks.”
