Yemeni foreign minister discusses Houthi escalation and its repercussions with French counterpart

Yemen ·

Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba met French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Philippe Barrot in Paris to discuss developments in Yemen. The talks covered the Houthis' military escalation and its impact on the country's security, international navigation and global trade.

Yemen's internationally recognised government has been in conflict since 2014 with the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa and much of the north. Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping have drawn international attention since 2023.
