"Mr President, today, 11 February, marks the fourth anniversary of the uprising of the Yemeni people demanding their rightful democratic and civil state. The recent violence and illegal takeover by Houthi militants and the resignation of the Executive threatened the territorial integrity of the country and the stability of the region, making an already dire humanitarian situation worse. Sixty-nine percent of the population rely on some form of humanitarian aid. These problems are likely to intensify as the instability continues. All parties, especially the Houthi movement who are now in control, must return to genuine dialogue and inclusive negotiations. They must take clear responsibility for their actions, rejecting violence and oppression as political tools.
Only a broad political consensus can provide a sustainable solution to the current crisis, and security is an essential prerequisite for the success of the transition. All parties need to cooperate to protect civilians and show immediate and unhindered humanitarian access on the ground. Sadly, although the EU is the leading humanitarian aid donor it plays a minor diplomatic role in Yemen. This must change. Outside power must stop fuelling violence by equipping and funding armed groups. The EU must facilitate the process of state-building in Yemen, promote the political dialogue and democratic reform and help in improving the security situation. We must stand by the people of Yemen at this critical juncture."@en1
