Yemen: Workers to stage go-slow protests at Aden Container Terminal in the coming days after demonstrations Aug. 10.
As of Aug. 10, port workers at Aden Container Terminal in Aden, Yemen, plan to demonstrate and stage go-slow protests in the coming days.
Event
Workers are likely to stage further protests at the Aden Container Terminal in Aden after they demonstrated 07:00-08:00 and engaged in go-slow protests thereafter Aug. 10. Workers stated they will demonstrate each morning and continue their go-slow protest indefinitely until their labor grievances are resolved. Port workers protested over similar issues Aug. 4.
Disruptions to port operations are likely during any further action by workers. Lingering shipping delays could occur after the action ends as port workers clear backlogs. Localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. While significant acts of violence are unlikely, minor confrontations between protesters and security forces cannot be ruled out.
Advice
Avoid all demonstrations as a precaution. Leave the area immediately and seek shelter in a secure location if violence erupts nearby. Plan for freight delivery delays and disruptions.
