Jemen - Entwicklungen im Schatten von Corona

112.000 Tote - so lauten Schätzungen zu Opferzahlen des Krieges im Jemen, der seit sechs Jahren anhält. Das ohnehin arme und von mehreren Krisen erschütterte Land steht für die schlimmste humanitäre Katastrophe unserer Zeit. Trotz der katastrophalen humanitären Lage und dem zusätzlichen Druck durch COVID-19 stagniert die internationale Hilfe. Derweil ist es trotz zahlreicher Bemühungen bis heute nicht gelungen, die militärische Eskalation zu beenden. Den nationalen Dialog zu fördern und lokale und nationale Strukturen zu stärken bzw. aufzubauen, könnten Elemente sein, um politische Verhandlungen und eine nachhaltige Konfliktlösung zu unterstützen.

Syrien - Entwicklungen im Schatten von Corona

Nach UN-Angaben sind seit Beginn des Bürgerkrieges in Syrien etwa eine halbe Million Menschen getötet worden und derzeit etwa zwölf Millionen Syrer von Flucht und Vertreibung betroffen: 5,7 Millionen haben das Land verlassen und über sechs Millionen sind Binnenflüchtlinge. Der Konflikt ist bereits seit Jahren ein Stellvertreterkrieg unterschiedlicher internationaler und regionaler Akteure um geostrategischen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Einfluss. Die aktuelle deutsche EU-Ratspräsidentschaft bietet nun eine Chance, den Bürgerkrieg prominent auf die europäische Agenda zu setzen.

Libya - Developments in the Shadow of Corona

Since May 2020, the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA), with massive help from Turkey, has succeeded in breaking the siege of Tripoli by Khalifa Haftar and his militias, supported by Russia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, and regaining important territories. Both sides are massing troops along the new front line near Sirte. This may either lead to new military escalation of the conflict or split up the country into spheres of interest. In order to mitigate these scenarios, a joint European approach is urgently needed. This should include sanctioning the destructive role of external actors, strengthening the United Nations’ negotiating mission, supporting the revival of an internal political process in Libya and providing humanitarian aid to the country.
