US military stealing oil picture (Syrian media data map)
Overseas Network, June 28th Lebanese “Al Mayadeen” TV station (Al Mayadeen) published a report by Syrian journalist Sara Salum on the 27th, saying that according to the data of the Syrian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, the US-led attacks directly or indirectly caused losses of 111.9 billion US dollars in the Syrian oil industry. The article asked, how long will the illegal US military presence continue to plunder Syrian oil?
According to data from the Syrian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, as of now, 235 key members of the department have been killed, 112 of whom were kidnapped, and the loss amounted to US$111.9 billion. Among them, US$25.9 billion is the direct loss caused by the illegal garrison and its affiliated militia attacks led by the United States, and the indirect loss is more than US$86 billion, mainly due to production loss caused by low production.
The theft has occurred daily since early 2017 when the U.S.-backed SDF and its illegal garrisons took control of Syrian oil fields, transporting stolen Syrian oil to Iraqi territory through illegal crossings in Walid and Mahmoudia, alone The daily transport volume reached 66,000 barrels, which were subsequently sold at high prices.
In addition, since 2011, the United States and other Western countries have imposed multiple sanctions on the Syrian oil sector, causing about 11 foreign oil companies to stop operating in Syria. In contrast, under the gaze of the whole world, few people pay attention to illegal acts such as the blatant looting of Syrian oil fields.
Syria is still suffering from a severe crisis due to an unprecedented shortage of oil derivatives, and public life in the country has been almost completely paralyzed several times over the past few months. (Li Meng from Overseas Network)
