UAE Calls for Restraint as Yemen Crisis Escalates
The United Arab Emirates has called for restraint and calm as the situation in Yemen continues to evolve rapidly, raising concerns about renewed instability in the conflict-hit country. The UAE said it is closely monitoring developments on the ground and urged all Yemeni parties to exercise caution and avoid actions that could further escalate violence.
Focus on Dialogue and De-Escalation
In an official statement, the UAE stressed the importance of dialogue and political engagement to resolve disputes. It urged Yemeni factions to prioritise national interests and the protection of civilians, warning that continued fighting would deepen the humanitarian crisis. The UAE said restraint and wisdom were essential to prevent further deterioration of security conditions.
Tensions in Southern Yemen
The appeal comes amid renewed clashes in southern Yemen involving rival armed groups aligned with different political and regional interests. The fighting has underscored existing divisions within Yemen and added complexity to efforts aimed at stabilising the country after years of conflict. Developments in the south have also raised regional concerns due to their potential impact on broader security dynamics.
Regional and Humanitarian Implications
The UAE emphasised that continued instability in Yemen poses risks not only to the country but to the wider region. It reiterated support for international and regional efforts aimed at achieving a lasting political settlement. The statement also highlighted the need to protect humanitarian access and prevent further suffering among Yemen’s civilian population.
