Aden, NewsYemen, special:
Exchange rates began to collapse again after witnessing a slight improvement in the past days, to record the Yemeni riyal 1131 per US dollar, and 297 per Saudi riyal, in the capital, Aden.
Observers said that the citizen no longer cares about the improvement in exchange rates, because it does not reflect positively on the prices of basic and important commodities in conjunction with the failure of the concerned authorities to monitor the continuous.
On the other hand, the citizens of the liberated areas continued to express their dissatisfaction with the deterioration of the living situation and their economic situation, which they described as collapsed, in conjunction with the rise in the prices of the most important food commodities that have become difficult to provide.
The simplest components of a food basket recorded 70,000 riyals, down from 35,000 in the past.
Dozens of families are now unable to buy vegetables, as a kilo of onions recorded 1100 riyals, potatoes 800 riyals, cucumbers and zucchini 200 riyals per grain, and an egg 200 riyals, which is impossible for a family with a monthly income of 40,000 to keep pace with, especially if it has a large number of members.
In addition to the rest of life's obligations such as rent, transportation, basic requirements for children, schools, and others.
The people of the liberated areas demanded that the government carry out its role in the economic reforms that it repudiated, which aggravated the collapse of the economic situation, renewing their demands to dismiss the heads of corruption.
