  9. I want to applaud them for the courage and professionalism that they show every day to protect the entire region and the world from catastrophe. We need to thank them for what they are doing. We look forward to their being substantially supported. I want to end by reaffirming Kenya’s solidarity with the people of Yemen in their quest for peace and security. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Yemen.

  10. It has been almost a year since the Houthis agreed to allow the United Nations team to inspect that decaying tanker. From where we sit in Kenya, off the Indian Ocean coast, with so many of our goods flowing through the waters of the Red Sea, if that catastrophe were to happen, it would directly and negatively impact the people of Kenya and, with them, the people of the entire region. It is critical that the Houthis understand that any legitimacy that they may ever wish to enjoy would be destroyed by the FSO SAFER tanker sinking and the effects that that would have. I also want to shed a light on the workers on the FSO SAFER tanker, who are working under extremely dangerous and difficult conditions, with much less support than they have ever had before.

  11. As much as the Security Council continues to discuss the humanitarian, political and security situations, I think that it is time to highlight that there are specific and very practical steps that can, and need, to be taken. I therefore want to add my voice to those of the briefers to urge all parties within the United Nations and the international community to start to take up some of those proposals and better consider them. Closer to home, here at the United Nations, the humanitarian operation must function in this difficult environment in a more effective way. I also call for the consideration of how much better the United Nations can do in its coordination and delivery of humanitarian aid. I want to conclude with the FSO SAFER oil tanker.

  12. The parties should remember that it is their own vulnerable population who bear the brunt of the effects of the war. We note that more than 10,000 people, 70 per cent being women, were displaced following the recent increase in fighting. Those numbers are adding to the growing population in dire humanitarian straits. That humanitarian crisis, as we heard, is being compounded by the spread of the coronavirus disease pandemic. We will continue to urge the international community to provide more humanitarian support. But I was particularly struck by the briefing that we heard from our civil-society briefer today on proposing very concrete economic and financial measures.

  13. We condemn those acts of violence in the strongest terms, which have led to the loss of life and injury of innocent civilians and the destruction of civilian objects. We maintain our position that there can be no military solution to the conflict in Yemen. The fact that some parties are capitalizing on the intensive diplomatic engagements to scale up their military interventions is quite disturbing, since they are seeking to shift the trajectory of negotiations through violence. We support the Special Envoy’s efforts to help the parties to break the existing stalemate and facilitate a political solution. However, his efforts will be futile unless the Yemenis who are involved in this destructive civil war make the necessary compromises, agree on a working nationwide ceasefire and recommit to a negotiated political solution.

  14. As has been the case throughout its time in the Council, Kenya is deeply concerned at the recent events in Yemen, including the renewed and sustained violence in Ma’rib and in Sirwah, Rahabah, Mahilyah and Al Abidia districts, which continues to claim the lives of hundreds of Yemenis each week; the attack on the convoy belonging to the Governorate of Aden and the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, which claimed six lives on 10 October; the increasing reach of cross-border attacks by the Houthi on civilian facilities and the resulting civilian injuries in Saudi Arabia; the public execution on 18 September of nine men convicted of their alleged involvement in the killing of a senior Houthi official; and the escalations of hostilities and offensives in the southern region, particularly in Shabwa and Aden.
