HAMILTON, Nov 13 — The UN Security Council unanimously agreed yesterday to renew the Yemen sanctions regime for another year.
The resolution allows targeted financial and travel sanctions against designated Yemeni individuals until November 14, 2027, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
The resolution also added some individuals in Yemen to the sanctions list and condemned the Houthi group’s maritime and cross-border attacks against Saudi Arabia as well as their threats to commercial vessels.
The mandate of the Yemen Panel of Experts, responsible for monitoring and reporting on sanctions, was also extended until December 15, 2027 via the UK-backed resolution.
A military escalation between government forces and the Houthis resumed in July, leaving 12,000 people dead or wounded, according to UN reports.
The escalation ended a period of relative calm that had prevailed since April 2022. The renewed hostilities deepened Yemen’s humanitarian crisis amid continued fighting and displacement.
Yemen has been gripped by war since the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and several provinces in September 2014. An Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia intervened in March 2015 in support of the Yemeni government. — Bernama-Anadolu
