The foreign ministers of the G7, a group of seven major world economies, called on the Houthi movement in Yemen to stop all military actions, threats, and attacks against ships and maritime transport during a meeting on Monday evening. This statement was reported from the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, where world leaders typically gather to discuss global issues. The G7 nations, which include countries like the United States, Japan, and Germany, have long been involved in efforts to stabilize the ongoing conflict in Yemen, which has caused significant humanitarian suffering.
The Houthi movement, a group based in northern Yemen, has been engaged in an ongoing conflict with a Saudi-led coalition since 2015. The coalition claims its actions are aimed at restoring the government of Yemen’s internationally recognized president. However, the conflict has led to widespread destruction and a severe humanitarian crisis, with millions of people facing food insecurity and lack of access to clean water.
According to the Saba news agency, which is affiliated with the Houthi movement, the Saudi-led coalition conducted attacks on the port city of Mokha in Yemen on Tuesday. The attacks reportedly resulted in the deaths of six people. Mokha is a historically significant city known for its coffee production and is located on the Red Sea coast.
The recent reports highlight the continued escalation of violence in Yemen, with both sides accusing each other of launching attacks. The situation remains tense as international efforts to broker peace continue, but progress has been slow. The G7's call for an immediate halt to attacks on maritime transport underscores concerns about the impact of the conflict on global trade and regional stability.
