The electricity station, which the# UAE government promised to send it to Aden recently and at a capacity of 100 MEGA ,has worked for many years at the Fujairah power plant in the United Arab Emirates before being re-established last year.

The officials in the governmental institution indicated that they had seen the documents of these generators, whereas it was found that they operated within the Fujairah power station for more than 6 years, where they were taken out of service to be rehabilitated later and announced the donation for electricity in the city of Aden.

Officials pointed out that these generators are expected to be out of service because of the rehabilitation again after being out of service at the rate of 486 thousand liters of fuel per day, which makes it difficult for the institution to provide these huge amounts of fuel.

The officials called on the #UAE side to reconsider these generators and replace them with new generators from which the instituation can benefit , pointing out that the rehabilitation of these generators mainly makes them vulnerable to lapses within a few months of re-operation.

Aden, which is under the control of the UAE forces for two years, is witnessing a wide security chaos amid a spread of armed gangs that loot lands belonging to the state and citizens, as well as  assassinations of religious men and military figures in the city.

According to Human Rights Watch spoke in a report about executions, torture and rape of migrants and asylum seekers who were detained in Aden, and called for a clear investigation, pointing out that what is shown is not everything.

The authorities in Aden, following the scandal, announced the removal of the official in charge of the detention center for migrants, but a report by Human Rights Watch, which included live testimony by African migrants detained, said that the forces in Aden took part in these shameful operations and were involved in torture and rape.

The rape scandal in Aden comes just a short time after the rape of a woman in Al-Khukhah by a Sudanese soldier who was brought to fight as a paid fighter, a crime that still reverberates in Yemen after the courageous attitude shown by the victim’s family in the face of intimidation.

In Iraq, the international organizations have documented thousands of cases and published horrific images of those stories inside and outside Abu Ghraib prison. Trump has recently appointed CIA official involved in torture and rape in Iraq. No American soldier has yet been charged for these crimes.
