A report by the Yemeni news site Al-Omana highlighted the prominent role of Adel Al-Hammadi, acting director of the Yemeni Oil and Mineral Investments Company (YICOM), in a scheme to take control of the Shabwa oil sector 5, where YICOM holds a 20% share.

According to sources cited by Al-Omana, Al-Hammadi allegedly paid $120,000 to Muslim Brotherhood activist Anis Mansour during a meeting in Turkey. The payment aimed to fund a coordinated media campaign with Jalal Al-Salahi to pave the way for full control of sector 5 and exclude partners. This move would allow Al-Hammadi and Abdelhafedh Al-Eleimi to manipulate the sector’s wealth and seize its remaining resources.

The local authorities in Shabwa province have expressed strong opposition to actions taken by the Ministry of Oil and Minerals, particularly its correspondence with OMV regarding the nomination of government representatives for a meeting in Cairo on January 17, 2025, without involving local authorities.
