  • Security Council Distr.: General 28 June 2013
    United Nations S/2013/383 Security Council Distr.: General 28 June 2013 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in Yemen Summary The present report is the first to deal specifically with the situation of children and armed conflict in Yemen. The report, which covers the period from July 2011 to March 2013, contains detailed information on incidents of all six types of grave violations against children, by both the armed forces and armed groups in Yemen. Such incidents include recruitment and use, killing and maiming, rape and other grave acts of sexual violence, abductions and attacks on schools and hospitals, as well as denial of humanitarian access. Children in Yemen continue to be victims of grave child rights violations. Overall, violations such as attacks on schools and hospitals and the killing of children have decreased during the course of the reporting period as a result of reduced numbers of incidents of armed violence and civil unrest and the progress made in the implementation of Yemen’s Transition Agreement, signed in Riyadh on 23 November 2011. However, there has been an increase in the numbers of child casualties related to mines, unexploded ordnance and explosive remnants of war. Incidents of association of children with armed forces and armed groups, as well as attacks on schools, also continue to be reported. During the course of the reporting period, the United Nations and its partners progressively expanded their monitoring and reporting network, which has contributed to an increase in verified reports of the recruitment and use of children by the armed forces and various armed groups, as well as of cases of sexual violence and the killing and maiming of children by mines, unexploded ordnance and explosive remnants of war.

  • Yemen's Fractured South: Aden, Abyan, and Lahij
    1/17/2020 Yemen’s Fractured South: Aden, Abyan, and Lahij Yemen’s Fractured South: Aden, Abyan, and Lahij acleddata.com/2019/12/18/yemens-fractured-south-aden-abyan-and-lahij/ Emile Roy, Luca Nevola December 18, 2019 In Yemen, more than five years of conflict have contributed to an extreme fragmentation of central power and authority and have eroded local political orders. Local structures of authority have emerged, along with a plethora of para-state agents and militias at the behest of local elites and international patrons. According to the UN Panel of Experts, despite the disappearance of central authority, “Yemen, as a State, has all but ceased to exist,” replaced by distinct statelets fighting against one another (UN Panel of Experts, 26 January 2018). This is the third and final report of a three-part analysis series (ACLED, 9 May 2019; ACLED, 31 May 2019) exploring the fragmentation of state authority in Southern Yemen, where a secessionist body – the Southern Transitional Council (STC) – has established itself, not without contestation, as the “legitimate representative” of the Southern people (Southern Transitional Council, 7 December 2018). Since its emergence in 2017, the STC has evolved into a state-like entity with an executive body (the Leadership Council), a legislature (the Southern National Assembly), and armed forces, although the latter are under the virtual command structure of the Interior Ministry in the internationally-recognized government of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. Investigating conflict dynamics in seven southern governorates, these reports seek to highlight how Southern Yemen is all but a monolithic unit, reflecting the divided loyalties and aspirations of its political communities.

  • Yemen Humanitarian Emergency Situation Report No
    Yemen Humanitarian Emergency Situation Report No. 9 14 October 2011 This report is produced by OCHA Yemen with inputs from the Humanitarian Country Team in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers the period from 31 August 2011 to 6 October 2011. The next report will be issued on or around 28 October 2011. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES • Violent confrontations have erupted in Sana’a and reportedly killed 102 people, including civilians. • While the Government has reported to have regained control over Zinjibar, heavy conflict continues in Abyan Governorate and the number of people displaced by the violence continues to increase. • Food insecurity and malnutrition indicators in Yemen are of increasing concern. Since January 2011, food prices have increased by an average of 46% and the price of bread is 50% above what it was only a few months ago. • Throughout Yemen, children’s access to education is challenged by occupation of schools by IDPs, use of school premises by armed groups, lack of proper facilities and unsafe access conditions. • For the second time this year, insecurity has prompted the UN to temporarily reduce the presence of its international staff in Yemen. • Despite the constraints of insecurity, lack of access and limited staff, the Humanitarian Community maintains critical programmes throughout Yemen and is finalizing a strategy for the 2012 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan. II. Situation Overview President Saleh returned to Yemen on 23 September IDPs as of 31 August (Source: UNHCR) 2011 following medical treatment in Riyadh, Saudi Governorate Active Total Arabia.
