How do the Yemen's Islah leaders steal the state's oil

A document issued by the Yemen's Muslim Brotherhood’s Undersecretary of the Interior Ministry, Mohammed bin Aboud Al-Sharif, to the Governor of Marib, a member of the Leadership Council, Sultan Arada, revealed the extent of corruption practiced by the military leaders of the Islah Party with the country’s wealth.

The leaked document indicates that the Islah's military leaders were tampering with the country's oil wealth, while the people lived in a stifling fuel crisis.

According to the document, the Marib Governorate was supplying the Special Forces with large quantities that exceeded their needs, and in just a month, 45,000 liters of oil/diesel were requested, with a total value of about YR200 million, under the exceptional guidance of the Brotherhood’s Interior Ministry Undersecretary, Al-Sharif, without the knowledge of the authority in the governorate.

Sources said that the dismissed commander of the Special Forces, Abed Rabbo Laka'ab, was exploiting that large amount of fuel and selling it on the black markets, which reveals the inflated bank accounts of Islah leaders in Yemen, who controlled the political and military decision of the legitimate government during the past eight years.

In May 2020, a source in the Safer Company said that the management of the Safer Company, in coordination with the leadership of the local Ma’rib authority, sold petroleum products from gas condensate products without passing through the refineries of the Refining Company, and they were smuggled in various ways to Islah leaders.
