The Eritrean foreign minister, Osman Saleh, has stated that there is no military solution to the conflict in Yemen. In an exclusive interview with Middle East Eye, Saleh, who holds the position of Foreign Minister of Eritrea, emphasized that no military option should be considered for Yemen. The country must be given a chance to achieve peace, according to Saleh.
He further explained that the situation is complicated by the fact that Yemen is not united under a cohesive government. Saleh pointed out that Yemen is non-existent, as the official government has no control over the country. The foreign minister told MEE, "There is no Yemen."
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing, and the absence of a unified government has made it challenging for external powers to intervene effectively. Saleh's comments highlight the complexities involved in managing the freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, which is crucial for regional stability and commerce.
