The Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) has the
pleasure of inviting you to an online lecture by the Minister of Foreign and
Expatriates Affairs of Yemen Dr. Ahmed bin Mubarak, entitled 'The chance for
peace in Yemen'.
To join the event click here (Microsoft Teams).
For 7 years now, Yemen has been devastated by
civil war. As a result, the country is facing the looming threat of fragmenting
into different statelets. As the UN-led peace process has stalled, the peace
process needs to be resumed to avoid a fragmented and unstable Yemen in the
region.
In his lecture, the Minister will explore the
current political, economic and security priorities and sketch his vision for a
comprehensive and sustainable peace for all of Yemen. This will require
commitment and continued support for the peace process from within Yemen, from
the region and from the international community.
The Biden administration has vowed to make Yemen
a priority and the newly appointed UN's Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans
Grundberg, may be the catalyst to jumpstart peace talks. But will it prove
enough? And what role should the EU play to help bring about an end to this
disastrous conflict?
