EU Expresses Concern over Developments in Yemen

The European Union has expressed concern over recent developments in the Yemeni provinces of Hadramout and Al Mahra, judging that they pose risks to Yemen itself and to the wider Gulf region. The EU called for de-escalation and the avoidance of any action that could further threaten stability. The Union reaffirmed its commitment to the unity, national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Yemen, as well as its support for the Presidential Council and the internationally recognized government of the country. The EU's statement underscores the importance of maintaining stability in the region, which has already been hit by long-running conflicts and humanitarian crises. The EU is closely monitoring the situation and is ready to contribute to finding a sustainable solution. The crisis in Yemen has caused one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world, with millions of people facing malnutrition and lack of access to basic services.
