On 22 July, the 444 Brigade announced that all smuggling routes to the South in the centre of the country had been interrupted. At the same time, assurances were given that the fuel supply for all filling stations in the South had been secured.
On 24 July, the technical committee formed earlier in the month by Prime Minister’s Decree No. 308 of 2024 to evaluate electronic fuel regulation met to discuss the smuggling prevention system provided by Al-Namaa Oil Investment Company. The Audit Bureau made a presentation showing its observations regarding the hydrocarbon file, and the need for the system to be installed in all distribution stations and supported by all state institutions to ensure its success. It was agreed that the first phase of the project would be to monitor the distribution of diesel to major consumers, as it represents 60% of the total fuel supplied.
