In New York, the Security Council of the UN, which met on Tuesday 19 April for the first time on the situation in Yemen, failed to agree on a joint statement. A press statement was drafted by Germany and Lebanon, two members of the Council, but was eventually blocked by a minority. "There was a call for restraint and we heard some disturbing reports on Yemen," said Susan Rice, the U.S.
ambassador. "The members of the Security Council had a discussion that was worth it," she said without further detail. The ambassador added that the Council had expressed its support for the mediation of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) - Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain - charged with finding a solution to the crisis Yemen, where the president clings to power despite a strong challenge from the street.
"We expressed our concern about the deteriorating situation in Yemen and we called for restraint and dialogue," said Peter Wittig, German ambassador to the UN, led to the meeting. However, he did not specify if it was the German position or that of the Security Council. Before the meeting, he told reporters that negotiations were not "bogged down" and that "any further bloodshed would be avoided." The foreign ministers of the GCC began in the evening in Abu Dhabi meeting with a delegation from the Yemeni regime on how to find a political solution to the crisis in their southern neighbor.
Five Yemenis demonstrating against the regime Sanna were killed Tuesday, according to a latest report. One protester was killed in Taiz. Earlier Wednesday, a motorcyclist opened fire on protesters in Hodeidah, killing one of them. One policeman was killed and three others wounded by gunfire Wednesday of demonstrators against the regime in Aden, according to medical and security sources.
Since late January, the protest of the violent regime of President Ali Abdullah Saleh has over one hundred twenty-five deaths among the protesters.
