"Mr President, a hundred days into the conflict, the security and humanitarian situation in Yemen is further deteriorating. I regret all loss of life in this conflict. I am concerned that violence has the potential to turn into a regional, sectarian conflict. Should this happen, it will further destabilise the Middle East and threaten Europe’s own security and economic interests. The EU, a champion of democracy and human rights, has the moral responsibility to help Yemen and its people.
First, we need to end the violence, a humanitarian ceasefire to deliver aid to 80% of Yemen’s population; but the EU can only do so much. I therefore call on the regional powers, Saudi Arabia and Iran in particular, to show true leadership by assuming responsibility for the well-being of all Yemeni citizens. Weak governance, corruption, unemployment and unlimited social services have all been underlying causes of conflict in Yemen. The EU should use its international experience in institution-building and democratisation to train a new Yemeni government that would fairly represent and effectively govern all its citizens."@en1
