Foreign and Commonwealth Office written question – answered at on 5 September 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the security situation in Aden, Yemen; and if he will make a statement.
We are gravely concerned by the recent escalation of violence between southern and Yemeni Government forces in Aden. The UK calls on all parties to cease hostilities and engage urgently in talks.
We have always been clear about the fact that a political settlement is the only way to bring long-term peace, stability and security to Yemen. The Yemeni parties must engage constructively and in good faith to overcome obstacles and find a political solution to end the conflict.
