Somalia's president said that Yemen's Houthi movement is "not in a position" to help bring peace to Yemen, accusing the group of destabilizing the wider region and disrupting navigation through the Bab al-Mandeb strait.
The comments, reported by Al Jazeera, frame the Houthis as a factor undermining regional stability rather than a constructive party to any peace process in Yemen. The Bab al-Mandeb strait, a critical shipping route linking the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, has been a focal point of concern amid disruptions attributed to Houthi activity in recent years.
The Somali president's remarks add to a broader set of regional voices commenting on the Houthis' role in Red Sea security and Yemen's internal conflict, though the available reporting did not include further specifics on the context in which the comments were made or any response from the Houthi movement.
Regional stakes
Disruptions to shipping through the Bab al-Mandeb strait have had ripple effects on global trade routes, making statements from regional leaders about the strait's security a matter of wider international interest beyond Yemen's internal politics alone.
