Storyline
After diesel prices went up, many shopkeepers using diesel-powered generators to produce electricity were forced to close their stores in the Yemeni city of Aden. They called on the government to find solutions to the “serious crisis” as diesel prices reached 1,500 Yemeni riyals (about 1.30 US dollars) per liter.

– Soundbite (Abdul-Jalil Al-Shamiri – citizen):
“We closed our stores due to the high diesel prices, which reached 30,000 Yemeni riyals (about $120) per 20 liters, more than three times. We appeal to the government to find solutions to this problem because we cannot afford the costs.”
– Soundbite (Mohammed Alawi – Community Activist):
“The sharp rise in petroleum products, which is expected to reach $150 per liter, will affect many sectors such as health, education, and transportation. This represents a serious crisis and will negatively affect the livelihoods of many.”
