[19/يوليو/2014]
SANA'A, July 19 (Saba)- The Eritrean authorities are still holding nearly
863 Yemeni fishing boats since 2006, Secretary General of the Fisheries
Cooperative Union Ali Bhidar has said.
Bhidar pointed out in a statement to Saba that the activity of Yemeni
fishermen in the south of the Red Sea faces a lot of difficulties due to
seizing their boats by some neighboring countries, especially in the Horn
of Africa.
He called on the concerned government authorities to do their part in
protecting the Yemeni fishermen and follow up the activation of memoranda
of understanding signed with neighboring countries in the field of fish.
In this regard, Bhidar stressed at the same time the need to expedite the
signing of similar memoranda of understanding with the rest of the
neighboring countries and in particular Eritrea.
