| [Yemen Post] Darkness returned again to Sana'a on Sunday after sabotage acts targeted electricity lines linking between Sana'a and Marib in Al-Shabwan of Marib governorate. Sources of the Public Electricity Corporation said that the attacks caused an entire suspension of the gas-operated station located in the restive governorate of Marib. The sources said that teams of the corporation will embark on repairing the lines of damages on Monday morning. The sources urged all Yemenis to confront such sabotage acts, pointing out that the cuts of electricity lead to much suffer of the citizens. Separately, an American-Turkish delegation is to arrive in Sana'a on Monday with the aim of implementing investment projects in the field of electricity. The regional representative of the PEG Company, Hashim Al-Thawar, said the company plans to develop the capacity of electricity and its infrastructure. He affirmed that the company has willingness to build up electricity stations that operate with diesel, gas or oil, pointing out that it will offer many facilitates that could assist and hasten the implementation of the projects. He said the company intends to establish several technical institutes in three Yemeni stations with the aim of training and qualifying the Yemeni cadres. Yemen's electricity supplies have been damaged many times since the eruption of the eleven-month-old protests demanding the ousting of President President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... Electricity crisis led to the paralysis of factories, laboratories, workshops and many service sectors, pushing further Yemenis to unemployment. |
