Yemen bans use of foreign currency in local trade
Yemen's internationally-recognized government announced on Tuesday that all commercial transactions within areas under its control must be conducted using the Yemeni rial, prohibiting the use of foreign currencies for domestic trade and services. According to the state-run Saba news agency, the decision prohibits foreign currency use in transactions like tuition fees, medical expenses, rent and travel tickets, where foreign payment is not inherently required, reports citing foreign media. Ministers and provincial governors are tasked with enforcing the ban and reporting progress to the prime minister on a regular basis, Saba reported. This measure aims to strengthen the rial's sovereignty and stability. Currency traders in Aden told Xinhua that the rial surged to 1,617 per US dollar in government-controlled areas on Monday, a 40-percent recovery from nearly 2,900 weeks earlier. Yemen faces an unprecedented financial crisis after more than two years without oil revenue, which constitutes 70 percent of government income. The crisis deepened following Houthi attacks on oil export facilities in southern Yemen in late 2022, and amid the prolonged conflict since 2014. The war-torn Arab nation remains divided between the internationally-recognised government based in Aden and the Houthis that control the capital Sanaa and northern regions.

Foreign Affairs: Decision to announce termination of UN envoy to Yemen possible if agenda of aggressor countries continues to be implemented
Sana'a - Saba: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates expressed on Tuesday regret over the contents of the briefing of Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations Hans Grundberg before the Security Council session held Tuesday. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates affirmed that it followed, as usual, the briefing of the UN envoy to Yemen before the Security Council on August 12, 2025 AD. Unfortunately, his briefing continues to revolve around a vicious circle and steers clear of the root causes of the crisis in Yemen. The Ministry indicated that talk of peace and stability remains incomplete without a clear reference to the ongoing Saudi-Emirati military aggression, the American, British, and Israeli aggression, as well as the comprehensive and unjust blockade imposed on the Yemeni people for years. The statement noted that the briefing did not provide an accurate and impartial description of the reality on the ground, which undermines its credibility and makes it appear as if it is settling the victim and the perpetrator. Regarding the UN envoy's reference to escalation on the front lines, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that any military actions by the Yemeni armed forces are part of a legitimate response to the ongoing violations by the mercenary side, which has not committed to a genuine and comprehensive ceasefire. The Ministry also emphasized that strengthening defensive positions in areas in Hodeida is a natural measure and a sovereign right to protect Yemeni territory and vital infrastructure, especially with the ongoing threats of aggression. It expressed surprise that Sana'a was held responsible for the fragmentation of the Yemeni economy, when the real cause lies in the unilateral decisions taken by the "Central Bank in Aden," affiliated with the coalition's mercenary government. The statement emphasized that these decisions, which led to the collapse of the currency, were made under the direction and direct support of the aggressor states. The statement explained that the measures taken by the Government of Change and Construction, including the issuance of currency, are necessary measures aimed at protecting the national economy and maintaining currency stability in areas controlled by the Supreme Political Council, ensuring the continued provision of services to citizens. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the UN envoy to assume his responsibility impartially and speak frankly about the unilateral measures taken by mercenaries that threaten the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Republic of Yemen. These measures include the issuance of new identity cards, a move aimed at perpetuating political separation and undermining the Yemeni social fabric. These measures also include unilateral measures aimed at restricting citizens by obstructing the process of authenticating educational documents, criminal records, and medical professional licenses, among other things. The statement reiterated that the support and backup operations for the Yemeni armed forces in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab are in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza, and are not part of the internal conflict, as the UN envoy is promoting. The statement pointed out that these operations will not cease until the aggression stops and the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted. It noted the UN envoy's attempts to link the operations to the aggression and blockade on Yemen and to discuss the damage to ports, while deliberately ignoring the direct attacks carried out by the aggression on Yemeni ports and airports since the beginning of the war. The statement also ignores its responsibility to alleviate the suffering of special humanitarian cases requiring travel for medical treatment, which has resulted in the deaths of some of them. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates also renewed its call for the UN envoy and the Security Council to adopt a more neutral and objective position, based on serious efforts to halt the aggression and fully lift the blockade, and to stop using humanitarian and economic issues as a tool of political pressure. The Ministry's statement emphasized that the decision to announce the termination of the UN envoy's mandate is possible if he continues to represent one party and implement the agenda of the countries aggressing against the Yemeni people.

Political Violence Surges in Yemen as Fuel Imports to Houthi-Controlled Areas Plummet
Sana'a — Yemen is witnessing a sharp escalation in political violence amid a significant drop in fuel imports to Houthi-controlled territories, raising concerns over humanitarian fallout and regional stability. According to recent reports, the Saudi-backed Yemeni government has suspended approvals for fuel shipments destined for the port of Hudaydah, a key entry point for supplies into northern Yemen. As of late June, over 20 fuel tankers carrying approximately 500,000 metric tons of fuel were stranded in the Coalition Holding Area in the Red Sea, awaiting clearance. The move follows allegations that the Houthis misappropriated 45 billion Yemeni rials from a special account at the Central Bank's Hudaydah branch, diverting funds to support their military operations. In response, the Houthis have accused the coalition of orchestrating a blockade, using the fuel crisis as a propaganda tool to rally support and inflate prices in local markets. Meanwhile, political tensions have intensified. Houthi drone attacks on oil infrastructure in government-controlled regions, including the Dhabba Oil Terminal in Hadramawt, have disrupted exports and heightened fears of renewed conflict. These strikes, coupled with the group's refusal to renew a UN-brokered truce, signal a return to aggressive tactics aimed at pressuring the Yemeni government and its allies. Analysts warn that the dual crisis—fuel shortages and rising violence—could deepen Yemen's humanitarian catastrophe. Millions remain dependent on fuel for electricity, water access, and transportation, while political instability threatens fragile peace efforts.
