(**B H)

Both his children were dying. Yemen’s crisis forced him to choose only one to save.

The choice loomed over Mohammed Fulait Ahmed, burdening him with shame.

His children were starving, and now his two youngest were sick — their tiny bodies burning with fever, their emaciated chests straining for breath. Mohammed’s pockets were empty and a trip to the hospital, three hours away, would cost more than he had made in months.

Desperate for help, he begged a local businessman to lend him money. The man agreed to loan him around $50 — only enough to help pay for one child’s travel to town. The other would have to stay behind.

Each day seemed to bring Mohammed a new such indignity, a painful and impossible predicament.

Should he eat his share of what little food his family had, or fast to let each child take an extra bite?

Should he go out looking for work he knew did not exist, or beg for khat, the narcotic leaf that many people chew in Yemen, and then try to resell it for a pittance?

Now he was being forced to choose between two children he loved, 9-month-old infants born from each of his two wives.

In this valley in Hajjah province, where small stone houses dot the hillsides, many breadwinners like Mohammed, a short, rail-thin man, once worked as day laborers and khat farmers.

But as fuel prices soared amid Yemen’s long civil war, the trucks that once showed up to take them to work started to disappear, men in the region recounted. Construction projects they worked on ground to a halt. There was intense competition for the few farming jobs, leaving many men without any source of income.

At the same time, food prices also shot up, and families were suddenly unable to buy staples such as rice and vegetables. In Hajjah province, the World Food Program has recorded a 25 percent increase in food prices this year.

Many women, suffering from severe hunger, said the conditions have made it nearly impossible for them to breastfeed their children.

Yemen’s hunger crisis is widespread with many people in Mohammed’s area now surviving on little more than boiled leaves.

Using the money they borrowed on that August day, Mohammed and Anisa found seats in a pickup truck, which drove them several hours to Hajjah city, the provincial capital. As the truck rumbled along the unpaved valley road, Mohammed’s mind raced with worries over the child next to him and the others he left behind, he later recounted.

Back home, Mohammed’s other wife, Bushra, tried to care for the family’s eight other children. Each morning, she said, they woke crying from hunger.

No one in the family owns a phone, so she couldn’t hear news of the boy or share that the girl, Reena was only getting worse. “I worried he would die there and she would die here,” she recalled.

When Mohammed and Anisa reached the hospital, Ali’s diagnosis was grim. He was severely malnourished and suffering from a chest infection, Mohammed said the doctor told them.

Four days after Ali arrived at hospital, he slipped away. “He died in my hands,” Anisa said. “I hugged him and kissed him and that was it.”

That evening, motorbikes carried the grieving parents home – By Siobhán O'Grady, Ali Al-Mujahed

Saudi Arabia’s Other Yemen War

The Decades-Long Assault on the Yemeni Economy

The conflict between a Saudi-led coalition and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, which began in 2015, is only the most recent episode in a long history of Saudi attempts to control and subjugate Yemen’s economy and political establishment. For over three decades, Saudi Arabia has waged an economic campaign to suppress its southern neighbor in an effort to prevent it from emerging as a regional competitor. Most recently, Saudi Arabia began terminating work visas for tens of thousands of Yemeni migrant laborers, forcing them to return to a war-torn country amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Saudi Arabia’s decision to expel Yemenis workers—while particularly heinous given the circumstances of their displacement—is part of a long-standing pattern. Since the creation of the modern Saudi state during the 1930s, successive monarchs have feared the threat that a united, prosperous, and democratic Yemen might pose to their reign, especially after the unification of North and South Yemen in 1990. The Saudis have found ways to foment internal divisions and weaken the Yemeni economy, in particular by withdrawing guest work permits and rescinding foreign aid, on which the country is dependent. The Saudi-led decision to exclude Yemen from the oil-rich Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)—a regional political and economic union—has also deepened Yemen’s economic collapse, adding to the political unrest and crisis of governance that has divided the country and led to civil war.

Although it may seem premature to consider Yemen’s postconflict future given the ongoing hostilities, it is arguably in Saudi Arabia’s interest not just to cease its military incursion but also to help shore up its neighbor politically and economically. Decades-long efforts to hamper Yemeni development have not achieved the Saudi security goals of cultivating a weak and malleable Yemeni state. Rather, they have succeeded only in generating a costly and volatile military conflict. The kingdom would do well to integrate Yemen into the regional economy and create legal pathways for its citizens to work in Saudi Arabia once again.

A LONG, INTERTWINED HISTORY

Economic desperation and a relatively porous 800-mile border with Saudi Arabia led to huge numbers of undocumented Yemeni workers streaming into the kingdom. Saudi officials largely turned a blind eye to the migrant laborers, who filled jobs that Saudi citizens did not want—but periodic Saudi crackdowns on illegal workers invariably targeted Yemenis. In 2013, for instance, nearly 400,000 Yemenis were deported in accordance with new economic policies in the kingdom. Despite this mass deportation, years of gradual economic reconciliation and migrant flows had led to an estimated two million Yemenis working in Saudi Arabia prior to the most recent expulsion order. Remittances from these workers have amounted to $2.3 billion annually, which accounts for 61 percent of Yemen’s total remittances sent from abroad. For a country with an estimated annual GDP of $20 billion, these funds play an outsize role, and losing that influx of cash would be devastating for a country already in economic and political free fall. The ongoing Saudi-led blockade and internal Houthi political and social repression have left the Yemeni population with few other options for regular employment.

A SOLID FOUNDATION

Yemen must be brought into the economic fold, and the process needs to begin even before a complete cease-fire is brokered and a peaceful reconciliation takes place. Economic reconstruction funds could build on Yemen’s legacy of local development, funding the same Local Development Associations and other grassroots organizations that emerged during the oil boom era of the 1970s and the 1980s.

Yemen’s postwar economic recovery would benefit from the country officially joining the GCC alliance. This would ameliorate the Yemeni labor crisis by formalizing the work authorization process for migrant laborers. With an unemployment rate of over 13 percent nationally and over 25 percent for those aged 15–24, Yemen is facing an economic crisis that will linger far beyond the current conflict if immediate steps aren’t taken to shore up its economy and labor market. Reliable employment opportunities throughout the Persian Gulf region would provide a path toward prosperity for Yemeni youth who might otherwise turn to extremist organizations for social welfare and financial support. This economic desperation is in part responsible for the Houthi movement, which emerged from a cloud of political and economic grievances driven by unequal infrastructure investment and widespread unemployment. Yemen’s future institutions will not survive—at least not without costly political or military intervention—if the country’s core socioeconomic problems are not addressed from the outset.

Although Saudi Arabia has opposed previous Yemeni efforts to join the GCC, the reality of the current conflict may have altered regional calculations. The security of the southern border with Yemen continues to be one of Saudi Arabia’s main concerns and was one of the principal reasons for embarking on the ill-fated military campaign in 2015. Despite spending $100 billion on the war in Yemen, the southern border is far more dangerous than it was six years ago. Shifting to a strategy that instead supports short- and long-term Yemeni economic development could potentially foster this elusive stability, without giving rise to further bloodshed and humanitarian crises – by Asher Orkaby

Expo 2020 Dubai: How Would an Honest Yemen Pavilion Look?

As the UAE whitewashes its abuses in the country, Yemeni victims face an uphill battle for justice

What would Yemen’s Expo pavilion look like if the country’s suffering civilians designed it?

The UAE’s role in Yemen may be opaque to some, but human rights groups and international monitors have painstakingly documented the UAE’s numerous abuses over the course of the war, even as it tries to hide behind a coalition of states.

Recently, as part of its whitewashing strategy around the Yemen war, the UAE has aimed to create a narrative that it ended its participation in Yemen in 2019, when it withdrew its troops from the southern city of Aden. In reality, the UAE remains a prominent member of the coalition of countries participating in military operations, many causing grave harm to civilians. It has continued its air operations and support for abusive local Yemeni ground forces.

Indeed, the UAE’s military activities inside Yemen never truly ceased. Just weeks after the UAE announced it was pulling its troops in 2019, Yemen’s permanent representative to the UN, Abdullah al-Saadi, publicly criticized its involvement in the conflict. That same month, Yemeni authorities blamed the UAE for airstrikes that killed at least 30 Yemeni soldiers near Aden.

Support for armed groups

As the conflict drags on, the UAE continues to support an ever-increasing number of armed groups operating outside the Yemeni government’s control, including the Southern Transitional Council (STC), a political group assembled in 2017 to demand the establishment of “a sovereign independent federal state” in southern Yemen.

UN experts have also confirmed the UAE’s support for a laundry list of local armed groups that have committed abuses, including the STC’s military unit, the Security Belt Forces; the Shabwani Elite Forces; military units under Tariq Salih and Haytham Qasim Tahir on Yemen’s west coast; and the Giant Brigades, among others. Not only does UAE operate in Yemen through its proxy forces, but according to UN experts, a UAE military commander based in the country has given orders on specific military operations.

The local armed groups the UAE is supporting in Yemen have committed manifold abuses. Human Rights Watch and other rights groups have documented arbitrary detentions and forcible disappearances in secret prisons controlled by UAE-backed Yemeni forces in southern Yemen.

In some cases involving UAE-backed Yemeni armed forces, detainees were tortured to death.

Investigation squashed

The UAE’s culpability for abuses in Yemen has been largely documented and made visible by the UN Group of Eminent Experts on Yemen, an independent investigative body created by the UN Human Rights Council in 2017. As a result of their meticulous documentation and calls for justice, the UAE and its coalition partners reportedly lobbied members of the Human Rights Council, which ultimately shut down the investigation this month.

And despite all of its abuses domestically and abroad, the UAE was itself elected to serve a three-year term on the Human Rights Council just days after the experts’ mandate was killed.

If Yemeni victims of all these abuses had the opportunity to create their pavilion at Expo 2020 in Dubai, they would surely have cried out for justice over the abuses committed by the armed groups that the UAE backs in Yemen, and made presentations about the violations they face.

But this will never happen as long as the UAE is able to whitewash and cover up its abuses through events such as Expo 2020, and to mute criticism in international forums, putting justice out of reach for its victim – by Afrah Nasser

Anatomy of emerging chaos: Yemen’s Shebwa

As fighting in Marib province continues to grab international headlines, the conflict between elements allied with the Southern Transitional Council (STC) and the Sunni Islamist party al-Islah escalates in Shebwa. Houthi gains from western al-Baydha province to areas close to the city of Marib have displaced thousands of civilians and forced government troops to withdraw toward Shebwa’s capital, Ataq. The situation has led to new warnings by UN Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, in his latest briefing to the UN Security Council on the urgency for parties to return to peace talks, and the looming humanitarian crisis created by armed conflict in southern Marib. Stability across southern provinces is now threatened by redeployment of government forces to Shebwa in efforts to strengthen a new center for al-Islah as the fall of Marib city looms.

There are four major factors driving instability across southern provinces; territory lost to Houthis in neighboring al-Baydha and Marib; emerging Houthi threats to or in Abyan and Aden; massing of government troops around Ataq city, and the collapse of the 2019 Riyadh Agreement.

While Abyan, Aden, and Lahj bear the brunt of Houthi threats following retreat of government troops from neighboring al-Baydha this summer, Shebwa province is now at the center of a new front in the rivalry between al-Islah affiliates and forces allied with the Southern Transitional Council (STC). Southerners perceive withdrawal by government troops, whose commanders figure among al-Islah affiliates, as a direct threat to their interests and a violation of the Riyadh Agreement. The gathering of government troops around Ataq could lead to deployment of these soldiers to counter political protests against al-Islah and the disliked pro-Islah Shebwa Governor Mohammed Saleh bin Adio by civilians across the province. Southerners accuse government troops of having abandoned their positions in al-Baydha and Bayhan, Shebwa and redeploying to central Shebwa. Others simply ask why government troops have lost so much ground against Houthis while receiving strong support from the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy.

While the conflict in Shebwa is exacerbated by threats posed by Houthis, a number of other drivers are rooted in local rivalries. Six years after the liberation of southern provinces from Houthi forces, and nearly two years since the signing of the Riyadh Agreement between the legitimate government of President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi and the STC, tension simmers between tribal actors, military commanders, and political figures among al-Islah party and the STC. Unraveling the complex web of alliances and intersecting interests is a mounting task, with tribes represented among leadership on both sides, patronage dividing clans and the war economy sustaining partnerships across religious and political ideological lines.

The conflict in the south has also drawn in foreign, regional powers. This has excited competition to extract their patronage between al-Islah oriented central and western Shebwa tribes, the Awaliq, Balharith, and Bani Hilal, and those along the coast which are generally STC-aligned. This has flowed into the traditional mix of territorial disputes and inter-tribal positioning for local influence. These tensions have also been aggravated by years of defeat of government troops at the hands of Houthi forces, which have intensified the stress on fragile relations between leading political actors across the south.

Much of the blame for economic and military failures across southern territories fall on al-Islah. This is largely due to the number of military commanders leading government forces across fronts in al-Baydha and Marib, as well as officials in charge of the economic committee and oil industry around president Hadi. Furthermore, the conflict between the STC and al-Islah is exacerbated by claims that although the party’s leadership is hosted by Riyadh, a highly influential wing of the Muslim Brotherhood affiliate party maintains close relations with Qatar, for funding in humanitarian operations, patronage for tribal leaders and to disrupt the flow of LNG through Belhaf. Qatar is often mentioned for its role as mediator between a faction of al-Islah, mostly present in Taiz, and Houthis.

Conclusion

As lines of conflict form and reform—sometimes with a strategy but mostly in immediate response to events—the territory of Yemen whether seen as north or south is becoming a greater challenge to allocate a political identity lasting significant period of time conducive to any efforts to establish a lasting peace.

The range of empowered and capable participants in ceaseless fight against adversaries, fight over resources and fight to accrue standing and power, minimally at the regional level, or access to stable financial sources looks set to remain or grow for as long as military equipment continues to flow, men are replaced and the prospect for power and betterment is occasionally realized.

As the drain on manpower, production and government authority remains open, Yemen will find less and less valuable victories to win by armed conflict. Regional powers can hardly not look to their own sovereign defense without involving themselves materially or politically in the near seven years of civil war, but paradoxically prolong it and feed an increasingly chaotic state of Yemen – by Fernando Carvajal

Shabwa: At the centre of Yemen's storm

With all eyes on deadly fighting in Marib, an escalation of Yemen's conflict in Shabwa also threatens stability in the country's southern provinces.

The conflict in Yemen continues to escalate, spilling over into liberated areas and threatening the fragile power-sharing agreement of December 2020.

The spill-over is most visible in the southern oil and gas-rich province of Shabwa, with all eyes on Governor Mohammed Saleh bin Adio. While this particular conflict in Shabwa is not new, it is of significant concern as it threatens the continuation of the Saudi Arabia-sponsored peace agreement of 2019.

In Shabwa, the retreat by military and security forces of the internationally recognised government from battlefronts in al-Bayda and Marib provinces exacerbates the conflict, as troops amass at bases around the provincial capital Ataq.

Prior to the troop mobilisation into Ataq, the conflict in Shabwa was maintained at a low-level political conflict, with local residents blaming the governor for deteriorating economic conditions, heavy-handed reactions to peaceful demonstrations, and the targeting of local Southern Transitional Council (STC) officials and their children.

Demonstrations have escalated across areas of Shabwa, particularly the southern crescent, where civilians continue to demand the resignation of Governor bin Adio, blame the Muslim Brotherhood affiliate al-Islah party for the security crackdown, and protest president Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi’s handling of the wider crisis.

As media wars fuel the political conflict, Governor Adio is increasingly perceived not as the face of Hadi’s government in Shabwa but rather an instrument of his political party al-Islah, which appears to have begun repositioning party civilian and military loyalists into Shabwa as the fall of Marib city seems imminent.

This gathering of pro-Islah forces in Shabwa represents a new phase of northern occupation of the south, not merely in numbers but also in the fight for control of natural resources and infrastructure throughout the province.

As a result of the continued deterioration of the economy and security conditions in Shabwa, the STC has threatened to withdraw from the coalition government formed in December 2020, which could lead to direct clashes between southern military forces and troops aligned with President Hadi, as well as a collapse of the Saudi-sponsored Riyadh Agreement.

In recent weeks, Governor Adio has come under increasing criticism for failing to counter the Houthi advance through Bayhan in western Shabwa, in addition to his handling of peaceful demonstrations against a deepening economic crisis.

The potential economic boom expected since 2020 never materialised, and rural areas across the province continue to absorb the impact of inflation and a collapse of the Yemeni Rial. The export of oil through Qana Port has raised concerns over corruption, adding to the governor’s troubles.

Recent testimonials from military officers from the Ataq Axis have placed the blame for the loss of territory in western Shabwa on al-Islah party leadership, and squarely on Governor Adio as the public face of the Muslim Brotherhood affiliate in Yemen.

Another issue at the centre of rising tensions in Shabwa is the fight over oil and gas resources. In January 2020, Governor Adio reported $31 million in oil sales from thirteen shipments reportedly originating at Block S2 operated by Vienna-based OMV. While these figures were promising amid widespread conflict, Adio moved to expand his government’s share of oil revenue by launching a new project at Qana port near Bir Ali.

By late November 2020, Adio granted QZY General Trading Co. an exclusive contract to develop a commercial port and off-loading floating tank facility. The first vessel reportedly arrived on 10 January 2021 carrying 17,000 tons of diesel amid mounting protests from Shabwa’s residents and some within Hadi’s Cabinet.

Mohammed Adio’s handling of oil facilities and their revenue added to criticism of his approach to the economic crisis.

Preventing collapse

For ordinary residents, around the southern crescent and western areas in particular, Governor Mohammed bin Adio has overstayed his welcome. Not merely as a result of the 2019 Riyadh deal agreeing to replace governors in Aden and Shabwa, but also as a result of failures to deal with the economic crisis and growing corruption in the oil sector.

Local activists have also raised concerns over Adio’s handling of an increasing number of oil spills and threats to the environment, and water supplies – by Fernando Carvajal

At least 12 dead in Yemen as car explodes at Aden international airport

'Twelve civilians were killed in an explosion' a security source said on Saturday

It was not initially clear whether the explosion was caused by an attack

Aden is the temporary home of Yemen's internationally-recognised government

The government has been part of a coalition - backed by Saudi Arabia - that has been fighting the Iran-alligned Houthi rebel group for around seven years

At least 12 civilians were killed Saturday in a suspected terror attack near the airport of Aden, the Yemeni government's interim capital, a senior security official said.

'Twelve civilians were killed in an explosion' in the vicinity of Aden airport and 'there are also serious injuries', said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, adding that the cause of the blast was unknown.

It was not immediately clear whether the incident was an attack. One security source said the car exploded at an outer entrance to the airport near an airport hotel.

The explosion comes almost three weeks after six people were killed in a car-bomb attack that targeted Aden's governor, who survived.

Footage on Saturday showed people pulling out a body from a vehicle that had been completely destroyed, as firefighters put out flames nearby.

Moammar al-Iryani, information minister of the internationally recognized government, said at least six others were wounded, and posted graphic images showing wounded children.

The explosion damaged buildings and an internet cafe in the area. Footage circulated online showed ambulances, sirens wailing, rushing to the site. (films, photos)

Mindestens 22 Tote bei Raketenangriff auf Moschee

Die ölreiche Region Marib im Jemen gilt als letzte Hochburg der Regierung. Sie ist schwer umkämpft. Nun sollen Huthi-Rebellen Raketen auf eine Moschee abgefeuert haben.

Bei einem Raketenangriff auf eine Moschee im Jemen sind mindestens 22 Menschen getötet worden. Ein Vertreter der Regierungstruppen machte die Huthi-Rebellen für den Angriff verantwortlich. Unter den Toten im Süden der strategisch wichtigen Stadt Marib waren nach seinen Angaben auch mehrere Kinder. 19 weitere Menschen seien bei dem Angriff verletzt worden.

Jemens Informationsminister Muammar al-Erjani sprach auf Twitter von 29 Toten, darunter Frauen und Kinder. "Dieses schreckliche Massaker ist Teil einer Reihe systematischer Tötungen von Zivilisten durch die Terrormiliz der Huthis", teilte der Minister mit. Die Miliz reagierte zunächst nicht auf die Vorwürfe.

Nach Regierungsangaben schlugen am Sonntagabend zwei Geschosse in eine religiöse Bildungseinrichtung ein. Der Gebäudekomplex steht in einem Wohngebiet. Auch angrenzende Gebäude wurden beschädigt.

25 killed in Houthi attack in Yemen's Marib

A total of 25 people was killed in a missile attack by the Houthi militia against the strategic northeastern Yemeni province of Marib, a military official told Xinhua on Monday.

"The Houthis carried out a missile attack against an Islamic educational center and a mosque in Al Jubah district of Marib late on Sunday night, killing at least 25 people at the scene," the local military source said on condition of anonymity.

He said that the shelling injured more than 10 others, including children and students.

A religious educational center and a mosque were partially damaged in the ballistic missile attack which caused a huge explosion in the area.

Earlier in the day, Yemen's Minister Information Moammar al-Eryani confirmed in a brief statement posted on his Twitter account that "about 29 people were killed and injured by the Iranian-made ballistic missile attack."

However, there were no immediate reports commenting on the incident or claiming responsibility by the Iranian-backed Houthi group.

'Horrific massacre': At least 22 dead in Houthi missile strike on Yemen mosque

The Houthis have yet to comment on the attack, which comes as fighting between the Iran-backed rebels and government forces supported by a Saudi-led military coalition intensifies.

At least 22 people were killed in a Houthi rebel missile strike on a mosque south of the strategic Yemeni city of Marib, officials said on Monday.

"Twenty-two people, including children, were killed and 19 others were injured in a Houthi missile attack on a mosque... in Al-Jawba district" on Sunday night, a pro-government military official told AFP.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the mosque also had a religious school.

Yemen's Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani said on Twitter that 29 people, including women and children, were killed in the attack.

Yemen war: Deadly missile attack on Marib religious school

At least 29 civilians were killed or wounded in north Yemen when ballistic missiles launched by the rebel Houthi movement hit a religious school and mosque, the country's government says.

Women and children were among the casualties from Sunday night's attack in Marib province.

They were sheltering at the facility after being displaced by fighting.

There was no immediate comment from the Houthis, who began a major offensive to capture Marib earlier this year.

Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani tweeted that the Iran-aligned Houthis targeted residential areas of al-Jawba district, about 50km (30 miles) south of the city of Marib, with two "Iranian-made ballistic missiles".

The missiles struck a religious school and mosque in the al-Amoud area, which was overcrowded with families that had fled fierce fighting elsewhere in Jawba in recent weeks, he added.

Photographs posted online by the local Marib Press website showed a bloodstained carpet covered with the torn remains of several books.

Later, Saudi-owned al-Arabiya TV reported that the bodies of 39 people had been pulled from the rubble of the destroyed buildings. However, there was no confirmation from the government officials.

Yemen: Students among 29 people killed or injured as casualties surge in Marib

The latest attack was on a mosque and religious school, according to the Internationally Recognized Government Information Minister. It was not clear exactly how many people had been killed with conflicting reports over the fatalities.

Save the Children’s Country Director, Xavier Joubert, said:

“We are speechless when facing this level of horror witnessed by civilians in Yemen. The world needs to come together to make sure that civilians in Yemen do not continue to pay a heavy toll for the hostilities in the country.

“Children continue to be killed across Yemen as innocent bystanders to a conflict that has claimed the lives of many, displaced even more and destroyed the country’s infrastructure.

Journalists urge end to impunity for attacks in war-torn Yemen

Nov. 2 marks International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists

Yemeni journalist Hesham al-Yousefi was held for around five years and a half in a Houthi-run prison in war-torn Yemen.

Speaking to Anadolu Agency on Tuesday, al-Yousefi said he and his fellow journalists were repeatedly subjected to different types of torture, including kicking, slapping, beating with batons and butt-stroking.

“In addition to deprivation of food, we were forced to perform exhausting exercises and shower with cold water. We were also threatened to be held in weapons dumps, which were frequently targeted by Saudi-led coalition airstrikes,” he said.

Detained by Houthi rebels since June 2015, al-Yousefi and four other journalists were set free under a prisoner exchange agreement in October 2020. The UN-brokered deal between the Yemeni government and Houthi rebels included the release of more than 1,000 prisoners.

As the world marks the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists on Nov. 2, al-Yousefi called for rallying international efforts to punish the perpetrators of crimes against journalists.

“Amnesty International and the UN Group of Eminent Experts referred to our stories in their annual reports, but did not address the issue of impunity or accountability of the perpetrators of crimes against journalists,” he said.

The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists highlights the instrumental role of prosecutorial services, in investigating and prosecuting not only killings but also threats of violence agai

The discussion included a range of views on what has worked and what has not worked in previous official peace efforts, while also asking what role the political parties could play in both the peace process and in sustaining future peace.

EU Charge d’Affaires to Yemen Marion Lalisse opened the inter-party dialogue workshop via video link. She stressed the importance of strengthening the role of political actors in the peace and decision-making processes as an alternative to armed conflict.

Representatives of the main political parties in Yemen – the General People’s Congress (GPC), the Islah party, the Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP), Al Rashad Party and the Nasserist Party – all participated in the workshop.

Yemen: shelling and airport attack lead to another unbearable day for children

An attack near Aden’s international airport that claimed 12 civilian lives on Saturday and a shelling attack in Taiz that killed three child siblings and severely injured their brother, contribute to another unbearable day for children across Yemen.

Children continue to be killed across the country and thousands of families have been displaced as a result of the ongoing hostilities. Civilian infrastructure continues to be targeted, while continued restrictions on access of humanitarian organizations to those in need of assistance severely impacts people’s lives.

Responding to the weekend attacks, Save the Children’s Country Director in Yemen, Xavier Joubert said:

‘For many Yemeni families, this weekend is one of grief. One family supported by Save the Children lost three children and another son was maimed, losing his right leg, in an attack yesterday in the city of Taiz.

‘On top of that family’s unimaginable grief, they will continue to live in a place where the next attack may come at any time.

Nabil al-Asidi: Todesurteil gegen Pressefreiheit

Seit bald acht Jahren wütet in seinem Heimatland Jemen ein blutiger Bürgerkrieg. Die Meinungsfreiheit kommt in diesem Konflikt unter die Räder. Trotzdem kämpft der Journalist Nabil al-Asidi weiter, wie er in der neuen Folge der SWI swissinfo.ch Serie "Global Voices of Freedom" berichtet.

Wenn in Jemen das Gespräch auf die Medien kommt, fällt immer wieder ein Name: Nabil al-Asidi. Vor ein paar Jahren wurde er von der Antikorruptions-Organisation UTAD zur "Person des Jahres" gekürt, weil er sich als Vorsitzender der jemenitischen Gewerkschaften der Journalist:innen national und international für das Recht auf Meinungsfreiheit stark gemacht hat.

Im Gespräch mit SWI swissinfo.ch spricht nun Al-Asidi von einem "Todesurteil für die Pressefreiheit", das von den verschiedenen Kriegsparteien ausgesprochen worden sei: "Dieser Konflikt bedroht den täglichen Journalismus, da die Parteien, die um die Macht kämpfen, sich darauf geeinigt haben, Journalisten zu verhaften und zu ermorden".

Al-Asidi lebt wegen des Krieges in seiner Heimat seit fünf Jahren in der Schweiz.

Saudi call for US defenses to reopen Hodeida port new pretext: Houthis

Saudi Arabia has asked for US defense systems as a condition to lift restrictions imposed on the Yemeni western port of Hodeida, which the Iranian-backed Houthi group dubbed as "new pretext" for keeping on the Houthi-held port closed.
"By putting the possession of US anti-Yemeni drones technologies conditional to lifting the blockade on the port, Riyadh is but looking for a new pretext to maintain the closure of the port," Houthi official tweeted on Friday.
"After we thwarted [Saudi attempts to] exploit humanitarian issues to get negotiating concessions, they are now trying to use [the port] in order to strike new deals and to add further complexes," Abdul Malik al-Ajri added.
Saudi Arabia is seeking Washington's help in bolstering its defences as it comes under intense U.S. pressure to end a blockade of Yemeni ports that its Houthi enemies say is an obstacle to ceasefire talks, two sources with knowledge of efforts to end the Yemen war and a U.S. official told Reuters.
But Riyadh first wants U.S. weapons to help the kingdom strengthen its defense systems following Houthi attacks on its territory with military drones and ballistic missiles, the sources familiar with discussions added.
The United States has been pressing the coalition to fully open access to the Houthi-held ports and Sana'a airport, and also pushed the Houthis to end offensives and engage in diplomacy.

Yemen: Marib’s civilians are under attack and cut off from life-saving aid

The Norwegian Refugee Council’s Country Director in Yemen, Erin Hutchinson, said:

“Some of Yemen’s most vulnerable civilians in Marib are now cut off from life-saving assistance while also being under attack. The numbers of civilian casualties in Marib, including children, is at a record high.

“In these dramatic moments we appeal to all sides to ensure that humanitarian aid can reach families in dire need, including around 1 million Yemenis who moved there from other parts of the country hoping to find safety. Many of them are living in overcrowded sites that almost completely lack clean water, toilets and health facilities.

"Our staff can reach only a small portion of those in need in Marib, and what we provide is just a drop in the ocean compared to the staggering needs.

“We call on all parties to spare civilians and ensure that we can keep reaching them with life-saving aid. We also call on the international community to provide the promised funding to keep Yemenis alive in this hour of need.”

A Child’s Condition May Relapse Anytime!

In view of multiple drivers of malnutrition in Yemen, a child's condition may relapse anytime ¡f nutrition services are cut off even for a short period of time. Children aged O to 59 months have fragile health and are much more susceptible to acute malnutrition. And thus, having sufficient access to treatment and preventive services is a priority number one to save children's lives during this critical time.

In early 2021, cases of acute malnutrition among children under five are the greatest ever recorded. The onslaught of coronavirus pandemic has interrupted the safe delivery of nutrition services for children in certain areas which exacerbated the situation and increased the cases of acutely malnourished children aged O to 59 months.

Situation Update - Al Jawf Governorate

Al-Jawf is home to thousands of displaced families from Hajjah, Hudaydah, Sa’ada, and recently from Marib governorate. The displacement movement from Marib to Al-Jawf governorate is ongoing following the recent escalation of violence that forced thousands of families to flee.

According to data from OCHA and DTM, since 2015 and the ongoing escalation in Al-Jawf has resulted in 125,000 displaced people. Most of these people were displaced internally within Al-Jawf governorate from Al-Hazm, Al-Khalq, Al Ghayl and Bart Al-Anan districts, as well as from Khabb wa ash Sha'af district where fighting was intense.

The living conditions in the 12 districts of the governorate are very poor affecting the internally displaced and the host community alike. Several displaced families are currently staying in inadequate conditions.

Women and girls in Al-Jawf, are considered amongst the most affected groups in society with multifaceted vulnerabilities. These are exacerbated by the lack of protection services in the governorate, specially of GBV services and economic empowerment activities.

Children continue to be exposed to the risk of injuries due to the presence of landmine and unexploded ordnance in the area.

Lack of documentation also affects children, especially for those in IDPs sites, depriving them of their right of identity and access to education.

Children head of households need particular attention from the entire humanitarian community ensuring their access to humanitarian aid in a dignified and safe manner.

Yemen’s cancer patients increased by 30% after US-Saudi war

The Director of Yemen’s National Center for Oncology, Dr. Abdullah Thawabeh, confirmed that cancerous tumors in Sanaa have witnessed an enormous increase since the start of the US-Saudi aggression in 2015.
In a statement to Yemeni Al-Masirah network on Thursday, Dr. Thawabeh indicated that the center’s annual statistic before the aggression was up to 4,500 cases, but after it, the annual registered cases increased to 6000, which means an increase of 30%.
It was not the first time the health sector announced such horrible news.
In 2019, the official reports of the Ministry of Health indicated that the closure of Sanaa airport to critical cases caused the death of over 43000 patients, in addition to over 28000 cases of cancer patients, due to the siege and lack of necessary medical supplies.

War in Yemen a 'disaster' for girls' education

Girls residing in displacement camps are disproportionately affected by the systemic problems in Yemen's education system, activists say.

In an October 11 post on Twitter, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said the instability and displacement resulting from the conflict in Yemen have made it even harder for girls to continue their education.

It noted that 26% of the one million internally displaced persons (IDPs) at the hosting sites in Yemen are girls, and said they help their families cook, fetch water and take care of their siblings in the absence of their parents.

UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports indicate the number of children in Yemen facing disruptions to their education could rise to six million.

Girls most affected

Officials and human rights activists stressed the importance of ensuring girls' access to education inside and outside displacement camps, as well as making sure they are in a safe environment and receive food and health services.

"It is clear that the majority of girls in displacement camps have stopped attending school because of difficult conditions," said National Committee for the Investigation of Human Rights Violations spokeswoman Ishraq al-Maqtari.

Girls' education also has received scant attention from the authorities and from humanitarian organisations, she told Al-Mashareq.

"I visited three displacement camps in Marib, and found that many of the displaced girls have discontinued their studies because the authorities concerned with IDPs are not providing teaching necessities," she said.

Instead of going to school, the girls are preoccupied with helping their families obtain necessities, al-Maqtari said.

Some camps have "provided alternative spaces to be used as classrooms to continue the education process, for both male and female students", said Najeeb al-Saadi, who heads the government-run Executive Unit for IDPs.

But these efforts have been set back by "the direct shelling of the IDP camps by the Houthis with rockets and missiles and repeated waves of displacement".

The situation has particularly affected girls, many of whom have been unable to continue their schooling because educational funding is short and aid organisations are limiting their support to providing food and relief supplies, he said.

Among the displaced population, al-Saadi said, "many Yemeni women have become responsible for supporting their families, and girls have been deprived of education".

Hooray, finished school! What’s next?

I have just graduated high school in Yemen where education is a challenge. Sure, we have come a long way, but still primary school enrollment for girls is only 66%. As we get older, enrollment into secondary school slips to less than 40%. I am one of the lucky few! Some girls have their right to an education taken away from them; others choose to stop for their own personal reasons including marriage. My motivation for writing this blog is to encourage girls to stay in school and to demand their right to a fulfilling education. I am hopeful that many will be inspired to pursue science, because we need more girl scientist. To help, this blog will offer educational resources, including guest speakers to support girls in their final year of high school. With an education, we build our knowledge, and with knowledge, we can follow paths to multiple opportunities.

I am now at a stage in my life where I am at a crossroad. I want to go to university and I am busy searching for a university that suits me. I am passionate about sciences, and want to put my mind into studying genetics, I have many options available and in some way, having options is powerful. Sure, it can be confusing, but I would rather have the options than none. What I am trying to say is completing school led me to this juncture. I am at this place of opportunities and I am preparing to seize the ones that work for me. Like many of my friends, I am not as happy with my results as I’d hoped. However, I am over the moon with the openings that are laid out in front of me. So to all my sisters out there who are feeling blue about their results it’s just a minor setback to a major come back. Seize the opportunities and move on.

Within days of finishing my last exam, I grabbed my first opportunity. I contacted local NGOs and companies asking for a summer internship.

Aid agencies: protect civilians from the devastating impacts of the conflict in and around Marib

This statement was developed by a group of international aid organizations working in Yemen, including: ACTED, CARE, Danish Refugee Council, Humanity & Conclusion — Handicap International, INTERSOS, Lutheran World Relief, Medecins du Monde (MdM), Mercy Corps, Norwegian Refugee Council, Oxfam, Polish Humanitarian Action, Save the Children and ZOA.

Aid agencies operating in Yemen are deeply concerned over the humanitarian situation in and around Marib as hostilities continue to escalate resulting in dozens of civilian casualties, including women and children.

In October alone, more than 54 incidents of armed violence affecting civilians in and around Marib were recorded, resulting in over 119 civilian casualties — an increase of more than 230 per cent in civilian casualties recorded in a single month for 2021 in the area. A recent attack on 31 October, hit a religious site, killing and wounding 29 civilians, including students, women and children.[1]

More than 36,800 people have been displaced in Marib this year, [2] many of them for the third or fourth time. Protection risks for people fleeing from frontlines are of critical concern, with existing sites for internally displaced persons (IDPs) becoming increasingly overcrowded, which increases severe risks such as gender-based violence.

Of the estimated one million IDPs now in Marib city, 80 per cent are women and children. With the continuing conflict in and around Marib, displaced populations are risking once more being displaced into neighboring governorates that are already reeling from the impact of seven years of conflict. Further, we continue to operate in a challenging environment, with a massive short fall in funds, which is resulting in the current Marib response completely unable to deal with the crisis.

Humanitarian needs in Marib city far outstrip current humanitarian capacity on the ground. The city hosts hugely crowded IDP camps, an over-stretched public service and healthcare system, fragile city infrastructure and an increasingly vulnerable host community.

There are a minimal number of medical facilities and seriously depleted medical capacity in Marib city. This means that injuries caused by conflict cannot be effectively treated, with an inability to evacuate civilian casualties. In the few remaining available hospitals in the city, priority has been given for medical treatment to military personnel, and civilians have been left with little support.

UNHCR Yemen Operational Update, covering the Period 20 - 30 October 2021

Funding:

USD 271 M required for 2021 operations

IDP Response

UNHCR recently [issued}8https://www.refworld.org/docid/6171436e4.html) an update on its position on returns to Yemen, superseding its previous update issued in April 2015. The update reiterates the call for all countries to allow civilians fleeing conflict in Yemen access to their territories and not forcibly return Yemeni nationals and former habitual residents to any part of the country, given the prevailing circumstances of insecurity.

So far, in 2021, UNHCR has distributed USD 60 million in cash assistance benefitting more than 170,000 IDP and 3,000 refugee families (over 1,000,000 IDP and 8,000 refugee individuals). UNHCR plans to distribute USD 69 million in cash assistance to some 188,000 households by the end of 2021.

More than 1,000 families (over 6,000 individuals) were forcibly displaced during the reporting period, the majority recorded within Marib governorate. Since the start of the southern offensive, which began in early September, reports indicate more than 3,000 families have been displaced (some 18,000 individuals). In recent weeks, UNHCR has assisted up to 900 households with shelter support.

UN Deputy Humanitarian and Humanitarian Access Coordinators arrived in Marib on 20 October to discuss modalities for the delivery of assistance in the context of the dynamic front lines. Moreover, the UNHCR-led Protection Cluster team completed a field mission to Marib during the same week to support preparations for an emergency response plan.

Welcome to Kordahi Street: Lebanese minister lauded by Yemenis weary of war

Though Lebanon's information minister has enraged Saudi Arabia and its allies for criticising the war on Yemen, in Sanaa he has become a local hero

In Sanaa, the Houthi-held capital, images of a sharp-suited Kordahi have been stuck up on billboards across the city. Riyadh Street has now been renamed Kordahi Street.

“Kordahi spoke in the tongue of Yemenis and was brave enough to say the truth that no other Arab official dared to do,” Qadri Abdullah, a Sanaa resident, told Middle East Eye.

“He knows that this statement may affect the relationship of his country with the aggression [Gulf countries] but he preferred to support the victims of this war in Yemen. A big thank you to him.”

Kordahi’s criticism, Abdullah said, meant a lot for Yemenis who every day are dying under Saudi-led air strikes and as a result of the kingdom’s blockade on their country. The United Nations estimates that the war has caused 233,000 deaths.

“I can see there is a campaign against Kordahi by the mercenaries of Saudi Arabia but also of his statement appeared from different areas, as Yemenis are fed up of the war.”

Naming a street after the embattled minister is the least Yemenis can do to express their gratitiude, he said.

“Personally, I don’t want a street in my country named after Riyadh, because Saudi Arabia hasn’t done anything good for Yemen deserving of thanks. But Kordhai has.”

Islah pushes military reinforcements to Abyan

Saudi-backed Islah Party pushed on Tuesday military reinforcements to Abyan province, south of Yemen, according to sources.

The sources confirmed that Islah sent armed men and military equipment to the coastal Shaqra front, after the UAE-funded Southern Transitional Council (STC) reinforced its militias with four brigades during the past hours.

“The Islah militants have created military fortifications and trenches on the lines of contact with the “STC” militia in the areas of Sela, Al-Tariah, Qarn Al-Klasi, and Sheikh Salem,” according to the sources.

The STC is heading to bring down Shakra coastal city in Abyan and then move towards the city of Ataq, the capital of the Islah-held Shabwa, under the pretext of defending those areas from the forces of the Sanaa government.

The Islah party imposed its military control over the districts of Shabwa after the expulsion of the Shabwani Elite militia belonging to the STC militias.

Leading among signatories of the statement are the General People's Congress, the Yemeni Congregation for Reform, the Yemeni Socialist Party and the Nasserist Unionist People's Organization.

There was no comment from either the government or the Saudi-led coalition on the statement.

UAE-backed separatists send more troops to fill void after Saudi withdrawal from Shabwah

The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) has sent four new brigades to the Abyan front after Saudi forces began withdrawing from Shabwah province.

According to local sources, the STC carried out a large-scale deployment to strengthen its military presence in the Sheikh Salem Front and the Qarn al-Kalasi front in the past few hours.

The sources explained that the movements of the STC in Abyan came after the departure of Saudi forces from the city of Ataq in Shabwah in the early hours of Monday.

Islah Party activists on social media denounced the military escalation of the STC in Abyan, describing it as “a dangerous step that threatens the Riyadh Agreement and undermines the security and stability of the province.”

Earlier on Monday, Military Spokesman for the STC militia, Mohammed al-Naqib described the withdrawal of Saudi forces from Shabwah as “a step in the right direction”.

Saudi occupation forces have recently started withdrawing from Shabwah province, abandoning their allies and mercenaries. Sources claim this decision was caused by the advance of the Yemeni forces of the National Salvation Government and a growing internal conflict amongst the Islah Party.

Saudi occupation forces start withdrawing from Shabwah province

Saudi forces have left Ataq, the capital of Shabwah province and started moving towards the al-Wadea border crossing, linking Saudi Arabia with eastern Yemen, in the early hours of Monday.

Informed sources confirmed, that Riyadh directed the commander of its forces in Shabwah to leave immediately, after the leadership of the Islah Party (Muslim Brotherhood) authorities in Shabwah rejected the request of the Saudi Military Commission to give the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) militia additional months extension on a deadline to withdraw from the Balhaf facility.

According to other sources, the relations between the commander of Saudi forces and the Islah authorities worsened after the attack on a military camp in al-Alam by Islah militants on Sunday.

The sources explained that Saudi forces withdrew their military equipment and the STC communications network, in addition to dismantling its electricity generator, at the request of the UAE.

Military observers considered the Saudi withdrawal from Ataq as a green light to the STC to attack Islah militants in Shabwah.

Concerns arise as Saudi Arabia deploys Wahhabi extremists near Omani border

Local concern has escalated in Mahrah province, eastern Yemen, as the Saudi-led coalition began resettling hardline Salafist groups loyal to the UAE occupation forces as part of arrangements to destabilise the border with the Sultanate of Oman.

The Omani population consists predominantly of Muslims of the Ibadi school of thought, a branch of Islam that differs from both Sunni and Shia.

Sheikh Ali al-Harisi, chairman of the Mahrah sit-in protest committee, warned against these new moves, pointing out in press statements that “the aim is to spread the Saudi ideology and Wahhabi doctrine in this province.”

In recent days, the coalition has overseen the movement of hundreds of Salafists who used to live in the Dar al-Hadith center in al-Jubah directorate, Ma’rib province, after the fall of the directorate to the Yemeni army and Popular Committees loyal to the National Salvation Government.

Tribal sources in Mahrah said the coalition was currently settling the elements in the vicinity of al-Ghaydha International Airport, which is being used by the coalition as a military base for multinational forces.

The new move raised concerns over the transfer, which comes at a time when Saudi Arabia has begun handing over Mahrah to the UAE occupation forces while reducing its own direct military deployment in the province.

The transfer of Wahhabi takfiris raises fears among the people of Mahrah that the Saudi occupation forces are enabling the UAE-backed mercenaries to blow up the situation and find justifications to strike violently against popular protests that denounce the continued occupation.

Brotherhood-Houthi alliance stepping up violations in Yemen

The crisis of the Marib battle in Yemen has been raging on for nearly nine months now.
The Houthi militia insists to impose its control over the province, opening the door for many brutal violations by the group in co-operation with the branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen.
The Yemeni army has recently warned against the dangers entailed in the Muslim Brotherhood becoming part of the battle for Marib.
The army also warned against the prospect of the Houthi militia controlling oilfields in Marib, which is located in the northeastern part of Yemen.

Multiple crimes
The Brotherhood has stepped up its violations across Yemen.
The group has not only handed over three districts in Bayhan to the Houthi militia and betrayed the Murad tribes.
It had also handed over a number of soldiers and fighters from Marib to the Houthis.
It was involved in a large number of killing and kidnapping operations.

Yemen's STC vows terrorist powers following Aden blast

Yemen's Southern Transitional Council (STC) late on Saturday vowed "terrorist powers" with deterrent retaliation, after a car bomb exploded in front of the main gate of Aden international airport.
The terrorist explosion suggests that the "war of booby-trapped objects is the latest weapon used by dark powers as part of their attempts to conquest Aden and the south in general, after their military attacks and service wars failed to achieve this goal," spokesman for the Emirati-backed STC said in a statement.
"The attack comes as part of a series of obstacles, including thwarting the power-sharing government's work, showing Aden as insecure [place], and foiling any effort to complete the application of Riyadh Agreement," Ali al-Kathiri added.
"Terrorist powers will receive deterrent punishment, and land of the south will be freed from terrorism and extremism," he vowed, calling on STC forces to be more alert in order to put an end to "terrorist cells backed by Houthis or Muslim Brotherhood."

Yemeni gov't troops take control of Alam camp in Shabwa

The Yemeni government troops on Saturday took control of al-Alam camp in Jardan, a district in the southeastern governorate of Shabwa, after the site had been briefly seized by forces affiliated to the Emirati-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC).
The national army and security forces fully captured the military camp in the morning with no casualties, after forcing the STC elite forces to pull out of the site along with their personal arms, local and military sources told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.
Shabwa local authorities gave instructions to the army to enter the camp, after STC attempts to push armed groups from outside the camp in order to spark military confrontations following the Emirati withdrawal, the sources added.
Government troops arrested armed men, as the camp and its vicinity saw gunfire exchanged by the two parties in the last hours, according to the sources.
After days of the Emirati pullout, the STC elite forces refused calls made by the Saudi and Yemeni tribal and social mediations to hand the camp to the government troops, triggering tensions that led to the capture of the site without casualties.
Al-Alam camp was expected to be handed out by Saudi delegation to the government troops on Tuesday after the Emirati withdrawal.

Saudi-backed forces storm UAE-backed separatists' camp in Shabwah

Forces of Islah Party loyal to Saudi-led coalition stormed on Saturday Al-Alam camp, which is controlled by the UAE-funded “Shawbani Elite” militias of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Shabwah province, eastern Yemen.

Media sources stated that fighters of the so-called “21st Brigade” of Islah stormed the Al-Alam camp during the early hours of the day, after surrounding it for more than three days.

The sources confirmed Islah forces took control of the camp after limited confrontations, during which they managed to expel the Shabwani elite members, who fled towards Abyan province.

Islah authorities in Shabwah stated that, since the Emirati forces left the Al-Alam camp, they have worked to secure the camp site, in cooperation with the Saudi forces, which have made efforts during the past days.

UN bitten Musk um Gespräch für Milliardenspende

Sechs Milliarden US-Dollar zur Versorgung von 42 Millionen Hungernden: Der Chef des UN-Welternährungsprogramm, David Beasley, bittet Superreiche um eine großzügige Spende. Elon Musk stellt Bedingungen.

Weltraum-Tourismus oder Hungerbekämpfung? Wenn es nach den Vereinten Nationen geht, sollten die reichsten Menschen der Welt einen Teil ihres Vermögens für humanitäre Zwecke zur Verfügung stellen.

Ein entsprechendes Gesprächsangebot an Tesla-Gründer Elon Musk, der auf ein Vermögen von umgerechnet etwa 260 Milliarden Euro geschätzt wird, stehe, so UN-Sprecher Farhan Haq in New York.

Zuvor hatte es einen ungewöhnlichen Austausch von Musk mit dem Chef des UN-Welternährungsprogrammes WFP, David Beasley, auf Twitter gegeben. Beasley hatte in einem CNN-Interview um sechs Milliarden US-Dollar von Superreichen bei der Versorgung von 42 Millionen Hungernden gebeten. Musk schrieb bei Twitter: «Wenn WFP in diesem Twitter-Thread genau beschreiben kann, wie 6 Milliarden Dollar den Hunger in der Welt beseitigen können, werde ich sofort Tesla-Aktien verkaufen und es tun.»

Danach verlangte Musk Details über das WFP-Budget und volle Transparenz, wohin das Geld genau fließt. Beasley antwortete darauf: «Erlauben Sie mir, es Ihnen anstelle von Tweets selbst zu zeigen. Wir können uns überall treffen - auf der Erde oder im Weltraum». Darauf reagierte Musk nicht mehr. Ein Treffen zwischen den Beiden ist nach Wissen von UN-Sprecher Haq auch nicht anberaumt.

Kritik wegen Weltraum-Tourismuspläne

Musk war zusammen mit anderen Milliardären wie Amazon-Gründer Jeff Bezos zuletzt wegen kostspieliger Weltraum-Tourismuspläne in die Kritik geraten.

Security Council November 2021 Monthly Forecast: Yemen

Key Recent Developments

Marib and neighbouring Shabwa remain the epicentres of fighting, as the Houthi rebel group made further territorial gains in the two energy-rich governorates. Their fall would be a major blow to the Yemeni government and further strengthen the Houthis in any future political process.

Key Issues and Options

Reassessing the approach of the UN and the Security Council to resuming a peace process is a key issue at the beginning of the new Special Envoy’s tenure. Bringing more of the anti-Houthi opposition—such as Yemen’s different political parties, armed groups and other local actors—into the political process to make peace talks more inclusive and representative of realities on the ground is a related issue. At the same time, a critical issue is the Houthi multi-front offensive to take Marib governorate, the fall of which would be a major blow to the government, complicating future peace negotiations and potentially leading to the expansion of fighting into southern Yemen.

Council members and other countries, especially those with influence on the Houthis, could seek to support UN mediation by pressing the Houthis to engage in negotiations to cease their Marib campaign. Members could further encourage Grundberg’s consultations with Yemeni parties and relevant regional countries to develop a new approach to reviving a political process, which the Council could then support.

Key issues related to Yemen’s humanitarian crisis include preventing famine, protecting civilians, addressing challenges to humanitarian access, and supporting the economy. The UN has repeatedly warned about the potential for the Houthis’ Marib offensive to worsen the humanitarian situation if it triggers a new wave of mass displacement.

A recurring key issue is the threat posed by the FSO Safer oil tanker, which holds an estimated 1.15 million barrels of oil and is moored in the Red Sea off the Houthi-held Ras Isa oil terminal. The Houthis have still not allowed a UN technical team to conduct an assessment mission to the decrepit ship, which risks causing an environmental catastrophe in the event of an oil spill or fire.

Joint Statement on Yemen

Joint statement on behalf of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Montenegro, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, United States and my own country the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

President Khan,

The human rights situation in Yemen is dire. The fourth report by the UN Group of Eminent International and Regional Experts on Yemen outlines a litany of human rights violations and abuses, and violations of international humanitarian law by parties to the conflict including those involving indiscriminate and disproportionate airstrikes and shelling, attacks on medical facilities and schools, failing to abide by international humanitarian law principles, humanitarian restrictions such as obstacles to access to food and healthcare, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, gender-based violence, including sexual violence, torture, denial of fair trial rights, persecution of and violations and abuses against journalists, human rights defenders, persons belonging to minorities, migrants, internally displaced persons and shocking violations and abuses of children's rights in the period July 2020 to June 2021.

As the conflict in Yemen enters its seventh year, there continues to be an urgent need for independent and impartial monitoring and investigations into all alleged violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and human rights abuses, by parties to the conflict.

It remains vitally important to identify and use all opportunities within the UN-system to assess facts on the ground in an impartial manner, and work towards accountability and a just and inclusive peace for the people of Yemen.
It is imperative that the international community comes together to actively explore further alternative mechanisms to monitor the human rights situation in Yemen and ensure accountability. Together we must end impunity.
