Observed by: Mr. Alaa Isam

Four districts in south of Yemen live in total darkness and for the second day November, 29^th, 2010, respectively; after the power failure two days ago.

The districts are (Lauder, Moudia, Al-Wadhee’a from Abyan Province) and (Mukiras district from Al-Bidha’a province). The reason is lack of diesel due the prevention of the National Oil Company in Aden to provide Lauder electric station which provides that districts with electricity because of the high debt to National Oil Company, demanding that it must pay its debt unless it will stop providing diesel.

While before couple days, the electricity had been cut off on the above mentioned districts to the period of 6 hours per day.
