Djibouti cannot host 10,000 Yemeni refugees
The Foreign Minister of Djibouti, Abdoulkader Kamil Mohammed, warned that his country alone is unable to meet the growing humanitarian needs for shelter, food, and services for thousands of Yemenis fleeing the fighting in Yemen, estimated by the United Nations to be up to 10,000 people. He emphasized the importance of maintaining freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, particularly through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, deeming it a vital geopolitical and economic issue for regional and global stability. He noted that the situation is being closely monitored despite the absence of disturbances at present. He also discussed the escalation of the conflict in Yemen, with ongoing clashes between the Houthis and government forces, and the expansion of Houthi control over the western coast, including Bab al-Mandab, which has caused tens of thousands to be displaced. He called on the international community to strengthen support for Djibouti and to intensify efforts to achieve a political solution to the Yemeni crisis.
