RIYADH, November 13 – Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi has welcomed UN Security Council Resolution 2837, calling on Yemen’s Houthi group to immediately and unconditionally halt its military attacks.
In a statement Friday, Albudaiwi welcomed international support for the resolution, which demands an end to attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure.
He praised the United Kingdom for submitting the draft resolution, describing its adoption as an important step in strengthening international opposition to Houthi attacks.
Albudaiwi called for the resolution to be translated into a firm commitment to stop the attacks. He also reaffirmed the GCC’s support for Yemen’s internationally recognised government and efforts to protect the country’s sovereignty, unity and stability.
Yemen’s conflict began in 2014 when the Houthis seized Sanaa and other provinces, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in support of the government in 2015.
A period of relative calm since April 2022 ended with renewed fighting in July, leaving 12,000 people dead or wounded, according to the UN.
