11月12日 —— 据六名欧洲官员透露,沙特阿拉伯正在推动欧盟将也门伊朗支持的胡塞武装列为恐怖组织,但尚未消除欧洲方面的担忧,即此举可能破坏未来的和平进程。
Nov 12 - Saudi Arabia is pressing the EU to designate Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement as a terrorist organisation, but has yet to overcome European concerns that this could undermine a future peace process, according to six European officials.
这一行动反映了利雅得加大对该组织国际施压的更广泛努力。在持续十余年的战争重燃后,该组织近几周来几乎每天都对沙特王国发动袭击。
The campaign reflects a broader effort by Riyadh to increase international pressure on the group, which has been carrying out near-daily attacks on the kingdom in recent weeks after the resumption of war that began more than a decade ago.
胡塞武装已面临欧盟制裁,包括武器禁运和对12名指挥官的资产冻结。欧盟已将伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)——胡塞武装的关键支持者——列为恐怖组织。
The Houthis are already subject to EU sanctions, including an arms embargo and asset freezes on 12 commanders. The EU has designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a key backer of the Houthis, as a terrorist organisation.
但欧盟迄今为止尚未将胡塞武装本身定性为恐怖组织,而美国、澳大利亚和加拿大等其他西方国家已采取这一步骤。
But the bloc has so far stopped short of designating the Houthis themselves as terrorists, a step that has been taken by other Western countries including the United States, Australia and Canada.
十多年来,沙特阿拉伯一直领导军事联盟代表也门国际公认政府与该组织作战,胡塞武装于2014年将该政府赶出首都萨那。
Saudi Arabia has for over a decade led a military coalition fighting against the group on behalf of Yemen's internationally recognised government, which the Houthis drove out of the capital Sanaa in 2014.
极少数欧洲国家支持列名,官员称 六名欧洲官员表示,欧洲国家担心将胡塞武装列为恐怖组织会切断他们与该组织保有的有限联系渠道,并可能削弱欧洲参与也门未来和平进程的任何可能性。
FEW EUROPEAN COUNTRIES SUPPORT DESIGNATION, OFFICIALS SAY European countries worry that listing the Houthis as a terrorist group would close off the limited channels they maintain with the group and potentially undermine any European involvement in a future peace process in Yemen, the six European officials said.
将胡塞武装列入恐怖组织名单需要欧盟27个成员国一致同意。六名官员中的一名表示,目前支持仅限于极少数国家,因讨论属私密性质,该官员拒绝透露具体国家名称。
Adding the Houthis to the terrorism designation list would require unanimous support of the EU's 27 member states. So far, support has been limited to only a small number of them, one of the six officials said, declining to identify the countries because the discussions were private.
沙特阿拉伯政府传播办公室未回应置评请求。欧盟外交政策发言人阿努阿尔·埃尔·阿努尼表示,欧盟同利雅得就一系列问题保持定期联系,包括地区局势发展,但拒绝就任何正在进行的具体磋商置评。
Saudi Arabia's government communications office did not respond to a request for comment. EU foreign policy spokesperson Anouar El Anouni said the bloc was in regular contact with Riyadh on a range of issues, including regional developments, but declined to comment on any specific discussions underway.
欧洲议会上月通过一项决议,呼吁欧盟将胡塞武装列为恐怖组织。此举在很大程度上属于象征性质,但显示了欧洲内部支持对该组织采取更强硬立场。
In a move that is largely symbolic but which signalled support within Europe for a tougher stance against the group, the European Parliament last month adopted a resolution calling for the EU to list the Houthis as a terrorist group.
伦敦智库皇家联合军种研究所高级研究员若昂娜·德·德乌斯·佩雷拉表示,欧洲国家希望向沙特阿拉伯表示声援,但对于将胡塞武装列为恐怖组织仍持犹豫态度,她称此举实际影响有限。
Joana de Deus Pereira, a senior fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a defense research group in London, said European states wanted to show solidarity with Saudi Arabia, but remained hesitant about listing the Houthis as a terrorist group, which she said would have limited practical impact.
德·德乌斯·佩雷拉说,欧洲方面的顾虑包括:胡塞武装可能因任何列名举措进行报复,以针对也门附近的欧洲船只;且有关认定可能使在胡塞武装控制区开展工作的援助机构工作变得复杂。
Among European concerns, de Deus Pereira said, were that the Houthis could retaliate for any listing by targeting European vessels near Yemen, and that a designation could complicate the work of aid groups operating in Houthi-controlled areas.
欧盟可能保持谨慎的另一潜在原因:多位欧洲官员指出,欧盟的恐怖主义认定一旦实施便极难撤销,因为解除认定需要成员国一致同意。
Another potential reason why the EU may be cautious: several of the European officials noted that an EU terrorism designation is particularly difficult to reverse, as once imposed it would require unanimous support of members to lift it.
也门海岸线沿红海及其入口处的曼德海峡延伸,该海峡是连接欧洲和亚洲的关键水道。那里发生的任何胡塞武装袭击都可能进一步扰乱全球贸易,而全球贸易已因伊朗为回应美以对伊战争而关闭霍尔木兹海峡而遭受重创。
Yemen's coastline runs along the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at its mouth, a critical waterway linking Europe and Asia. Any Houthi attacks there could further disrupt global trade, already reeling from Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
胡塞武装与沙特袭击致平民死伤 利雅得在美国支持下,对胡塞武装发动了持续数年的灾难性军事行动,随后该伊朗支持的组织与沙特支持的也门政府于2022年达成停火协议。
CIVILIANS KILLED, INJURED IN HOUTHI, SAUDI ATTACKS Riyadh, with backing from the US, led a years-long disastrous military campaign against the Houthis before the Iran-backed group and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government agreed to a truce in 2022.
今年7月,胡塞武装指责利雅得轰炸萨那机场,该停火协议随之破裂。此后,双方均实施了跨境袭击,造成平民伤亡。
That truce fell apart in July this year after the Houthis accused Riyadh of bombing Sanaa airport. Since then, both sides have carried out cross-border attacks that have killed and injured civilians.
10月,胡塞武装对利雅得哈立德国王国际机场发动致命导弹袭击后,欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯表示,欧盟与沙特阿拉伯站在一起。
After a deadly Houthi missile strike on Riyadh's King Khalid airport in October, the EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, said the bloc stood in solidarity with Saudi Arabia.
