Mr. Al-Essi receives them in a cabinet decorated with 18th century French countryside landscapes in wallpaper, framed with gilt moldings.To one, he finances hospital treatment.At the other, he pays a scholarship for university studies, without worrying about the social origins or the political opinions of his visitors.It distracts him.At 54, Sheikh Al-Essi – known as “the shark” – is a concerned man.Barely a year ago, he still believed himself to be the king of Yemeni oil.He was fighting for control of the port of Aden, where his ships conveyed the black gold.He saw himself as bigger than the state he helped carve up, while taking care not to kill the beast.He dreamed of being president of Yemen, in place of his ally, former president Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi (2012-2022), who, more than anyone else, contributed to his fortune.Mr. Al-Essi acted as a private bank for his government.He claims to have avoided bankruptcy in 2015 and 2016. He filled the holes in the budget until 2019.The ace !Aden, exasperated by his grip, ended up kicking him out.He can no longer go to the largest port in the country, which saw him born in 1967 and which has assumed the role of "temporary capital" of Yemen since 2014, when the Houthi rebels, these Shiite militias allied with Iran , took control of Sanaa.Mr. Al-Essi, a small man with a thin gray mustache, slow, cold, witty, capable of exquisite politeness, speaks of himself in the third person: "You said that Al-Essi controlled the air, the land and the sea… But where are they now?Since new masters imposed themselves on Aden, banishing its ships, it must be recognized that the city is not doing any better.Mr. Al-Essi is ironic and threatening, he challenges his victors to find grounds to prosecute him for corruption.In this battle of great "squales" on the lookout for the riches of Aden, he was defeated.Independence militias, who dream of resuscitating the former People's Democratic Republic of South Yemen, the only Marxist state in the history of the Arab world (1967-1990), have assumed control of the port.They offered it to businessmen from the South, who are loyal to them.Saudi Arabia, which for ten years had been protecting President Hadi, his sons and the clique of businessmen around them, in the forefront of which was Mr. Al-Essi, ended up getting tired of them.On April 7, President Hadi was forced to resign.You have 85.32% of this article left to read.The following is for subscribers only.Playing the current World on another device.You can read Le Monde on one device at a timeThis message will be displayed on the other device.Because another person (or you) is reading Le Monde with this account on another device.You can only read Le Monde on one device at a time (computer, phone or tablet).How do I stop seeing this message?By clicking on "Continue reading here" and making sure that you are the only person to consult Le Monde with this account.What will happen if you continue reading here?This message will be displayed on the other device.The latter will remain connected with this account.Are there any other limits?No.You can log in with your account on as many devices as you want, but using them at different times.You don't know who the other person is?We advise you to change your password.Unlimited access to all World content.Support investigative journalism and independent writing.Consult the digital newspaper and its supplements, every day before 1 p.m.To support the work of an entire editorial staff, we invite you to subscribe.You have chosen to refuse the deposit of cookies when browsing our site, in particular personalized advertising cookies.The content of this site is the result of the work of 500 journalists who bring you quality, reliable, comprehensive information and innovative online services every day.This work relies on the additional revenue from advertising and subscriptions.
