Employees of the Oil Petroleum Company escalated their protests as they striked on Wednesday for the second day, paralyzing the work in most departments of the company.

They threatened to suspend supplying planes and government sectors with oil derivatives if their demands are not met.
The media official of the company affirmed last week that Al-Al-Arhabi who is a relative of the former President Abdullah Saleh resigned and left Yemen to Jordon for treatment.
He said that a committee was formed to review the condition of the companies workers.
Well-informed sources had affirmed lately of last week that the government accepted the resignation of Al-Arhabi and tasked the Oil Minister to appoint a new director.
However, early of this weak, the Oil and Mineral Ministry denied the resignation of Al-Arhabi, saying that the news reports about that were groundless.
