Yemen resumes oil exports after nearly four-year suspension, chairman says

Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council has announced the resumption of the country's oil exports after they were suspended in 2022 amid the conflict with the Houthi group.

In a televised address broadcast by state-run Yemen TV, council chairman Rashad al-Alimi said the government was working to "resume oil exports by all available means," starting Monday (July 20), Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

He said the revenues from oil exports would be used to support the state budget, pay public sector salaries, improve essential services and promote economic stability.

Al-Alimi also called on national forces "to rally behind the armed forces and security agencies in support of efforts to restore state institutions and end Houthi control."
