NEW YORK-SABA
The African group (A3) at the UN Security Council reiterated its steadfast commitment to Yemen's sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity.
The group, which includes the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia and Somalia stressed in its statement at the emergency UN Security Council meeting on Yemen that any external actions that violate Yemen's sovereignty or risk widening the conflict should not be tolerated.
The A3 stated that keeping Yemen isolated from the broader conflict amid tensions in the Middle East is essential for maintaining regional and international peace and security.
The group also expressed deep concern over the renewed tensions in Yemen, noting that hostile actions only prolong the conflict and undermine ongoing efforts to reach a negotiated settlement.
The group called on all parties to de-escalate and engage constructively within the framework of the UN-led political process.
The A3 reaffirms its firm support for the efforts of the Special Envoy and for the United Nations-led mediation process aimed at achieving a comprehensive, inclusive, and sustainable political settlement. A lasting resolution can only be achieved through an inclusive, Yemeni-led and Yemeni-owned political process.
The group also addressed the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, which has reached a critical and alarming stage, urging the international community to maintain and increase humanitarian funding.
The group also expressed deep concern over the continued detention by the Houthi terrorist militias of UN staff, humanitarian workers, NGO employees, civil society representatives, and individuals associated with diplomatic missions, calling for the immediate, safe, and unconditional release of all detainees.
The group welcomed the recently reached UN-brokered agreement to release more than 1,600 detainees, emphasizing the importance of building on this positive momentum to ensure its full implementation.
The A3 reiterated its support for the legitimate aspirations of the Yemeni people, and affirming that the path to lasting peace lies in dialogue, consensus and sustainable political participation.
