"Mr President, in Yemen, we observe a situation where initially peaceful protests against the rule of President Saleh have been overtaken by an increasingly violent power struggle among government forces and tribal militias. Anti-government demonstrations persist throughout major cities, the economy is collapsing, violence is ubiquitous, shortages of electricity and fuel are evident and outlying provinces are no longer under government control but, in some cases, in the hands of Islamic militants, some of whom are associated with al-Qaeda.
Although Yemen’s death toll is low in comparison with some other Arab Spring countries, this number has been rising, and if there is no immediate help from outside, it could lead to the disintegration of the country and civil war. I would say to the High Representative that we should prevent this scenario from becoming a reality.
In Egypt, there is an alarming wave of concern regarding the Christian community’s deteriorating conditions. We must stress the need for Egypt to ban all discrimination based on religion, language, gender or ethnicity. I would urge the High Representative to use all the instruments at her disposal to ensure that the rights of minorities are upheld and implemented and that the universal rights of peaceful protest and religious freedom are respected."@en1
