联合国特使汉斯·格伦德伯格在也门西海岸爆发激烈战斗后，与胡塞武装谈判代表及也门获承认的政府进行了会谈。局势的升级导致了大规模流离失所，增加了红海航运的风险，并使通过谈判达成解决方案的前景变得更加复杂。
UN envoy Hans Grundberg has held talks with Houthi negotiators and Yemen's recognised government after fierce fighting erupted on the western coast. The escalation has driven mass displacement, raised risks to Red Sea shipping and complicated prospects for a negotiated settlement.
联合国也门问题特使汉斯·格伦德伯格表示，他已与胡塞武装谈判代表及国际社会承认的也门政府举行了会谈，旨在阻止也门境内最新的局势升级，目前该国西海岸已爆发激烈战斗。新一轮暴力冲突已造成数百人死亡，数万人被迫逃离家园，为这场始于2014年的战争增添了新的变数。
UN envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg said he has held talks with Houthi negotiators and the internationally recognised government in an effort to stop the latest escalation in Yemen, where fierce fighting has broken out on the country’s western coast. The renewed violence has killed hundreds and forced tens of thousands to flee, adding a new turn to a war that began in 2014.
在开罗接受美联社采访时，格伦德伯格表示，他周末在马斯喀特与胡塞武装首席谈判代表穆罕默德·阿卜杜勒-萨拉姆会面，旨在探讨“是否有办法避免当前的局势进一步升级”。他表示，他还在利雅得与国际社会承认的也门政府及包括沙特阿拉伯在内的地区大国举行了会谈。沙特一直是格伦德伯格所描述的胡塞武装“前所未有”且“剧烈”的最新升级行动的主要目标。
In an interview with The Associated Press in Cairo, Grundberg said his weekend meeting in Muscat with the Houthis’ chief negotiator, Mohammed Abdul-Salam, was aimed at exploring “if there are ways of how to avoid seeing the current escalation go even further”. He said he also held talks in Riyadh with the internationally recognised government and regional powers, including Saudi Arabia, which has been the main target of what he described as the Houthis’ “unprecedented” and “dramatic” latest escalation.
这场冲突始于2014年，当时伊朗支持的胡塞武装夺取了首都萨那，迫使也门政府流亡沙特阿拉伯。一年后，沙特阿拉伯率领多国联军介入战争。格伦德伯格表示，该地区的动荡局势以及“包括伊朗在内的地区各方，以及也门其他邻国的影响力”，也影响了冲突的进程。
The conflict began when the Iran-backed Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, in 2014, forcing Yemen’s government into exile in Saudi Arabia. A year later, Saudi Arabia entered the war with a multinational coalition. Grundberg said instability in the region, and the “influence of regional parties, including Iran, and also other neighbours to Yemen”, had also affected the course of the conflict.
本月早些时候，在伊朗专家的协助下，胡塞武装向红海沿岸推进，占领了战略城市穆哈以及多个红海岛屿。此次推进将其控制范围扩大至曼德海峡这一关键海上航线。这是该组织多年来最大的一次领土扩张，并终止了2022年的停火协议；此前，这项停火协议基本遏制了也门长达12年的内战中的大规模战斗。武装分子还加强了对沙特阿拉伯的跨境袭击，打击石油设施，并阻止油轮通过曼德海峡；全球约12%的贸易途经该海峡。
Earlier this month, aided by Iranian experts, the Houthis pushed down the Red Sea coast, capturing the strategic city of Mokha and a number of Red Sea islands. The advance extended their reach to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key maritime route. It was the group’s biggest territorial gain in years and ended a 2022 ceasefire that had largely halted major fighting in Yemen’s 12-year civil war. The rebels have also stepped up cross-border attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting oil facilities and stopping its tankers from passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, through which around 12 per cent of global trade passes.
联合国称，最新一轮袭击以及与沙特支持的也门军队和盟军之间的战斗，已造成至少838人死亡，另有超过3640人受伤。联合国移民机构表示，战事升级已导致超过14.5万人流离失所，其中也门境内人数超过14.5万，另有3000多人渡海逃往吉布提。
According to the UN, the latest assault and the fighting with Saudi-backed Yemeni and allied forces have killed at least 838 people and wounded more than 3,640 others. The UN migration agency said the flare-up had displaced more than 145,000 people inside Yemen, while more than 3,000 others had fled across the water to Djibouti.
格伦德贝里说，当前的局势升级比内战Earlier阶段的几轮暴力冲突更加复杂，战线已转移至红海沿岸，而在那里，“最敏感的战线”正威胁着对全球贸易至关重要的海上通道。他说：“我们也看到红海商业航运遭到袭击。这一事态 developments 令人警觉，也应引起安理会的关注。”
Grundberg said the current escalation was more complicated than earlier rounds of violence in the civil war, with battle lines shifting to the Red Sea coast, where “the most sensitive front lines” are threatening maritime corridors crucial for global trade. “We’ve seen attacks also on commercial shipping in the Red Sea, and it’s a development that is alarming and that should be a concern for the Security Council,” he said.
他还说，也门冲突与中东地区更广泛的战争日益紧密地联系在一起。这些战争始于哈马斯于2023年10月7日对以色列南部发动的袭击，最近则表现为美国和以色列对伊朗的战争。也门冲突还演变为沙特阿拉伯与伊朗之间的地区代理战争，而美国长期通过向沙特王国提供情报援助，在外围介入。然而，由于沙特空袭造成平民死亡，国际社会对此提出批评，促使美国减少了对沙特的支持。
He also said the Yemen conflict had become increasingly linked to the wider wars in the Middle East that began with Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel and, most recently, the US-Israeli war against Iran. The conflict has also become a regional proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, with the United States long involved on the periphery by providing intelligence assistance to the kingdom. However, international criticism over Saudi airstrikes that killed civilians led the US to pull back its support.
“目前的局势很难解决，”格伦德伯格说，并补充称，交战各方及其支持者“目前正在评估”局势升级所带来的后果。“空气中仍有很多尘埃，需要先落定，他们才能自行判断下一步的最佳方案是什么，无论是在战场上，还是在谈判桌旁，”他说。他说，需要将也门战争与其他地区冲突区分开来，以帮助寻找一种“由也门人自主决定”的解决方案。
“The current situation is going to be challenging to resolve,” Grundberg said, adding that the warring parties and their backers “are currently trying to assess” the consequences of the escalation. “There’s a lot of dust in the air that needs to settle before they can make their own assessment on what the best alternative for the way forward is, whether it is on the battlefield or whether it’s around the negotiation table,” he said. He said the Yemen war needed to be separated from other regional conflicts to help find a settlement “defined by Yemenis”, adding: “My recommendation at this point is to make sure that you disentangle these conflicts and you address them one by one effectively and efficiently through negotiations.”
他补充道：“我目前的建议是，务必将这些冲突区分开来，并通过谈判逐一高效、妥善地处理。”总体而言，格伦德伯格传达的信息是，也门战事已进入一个更加危险的阶段，造成严重人员代价，与地区各方的联系更加广泛，红海航运面临的风险不断增加，同时各方仍在努力防止局势进一步恶化。PTI供稿
Overall, Grundberg’s message was that the fighting in Yemen has entered a more dangerous phase, with heavy human costs, wider regional links and growing risks to Red Sea shipping, while efforts continue to prevent the escalation from deepening further. With PTI Inputs
