Боррелль предлагает провести повторные выборы в Беларуси под наблюдением ОБСЕ

Верховный представитель ЕС по иностранным делам и политике безопасности Джозеп Боррель предложил провести повторные президентские выборы в Беларуси, но на этот раз под наблюдением ОБСЕ (Организации по безопасности и сотрудничеству в Европе).

В воскресной (30 августа) статье во французской газете Journal du Боррель утверждает, что "лучшим решением было бы переиграть матч под контролем ОБСЕ". Боррель также говорит, что Москва "намеревается помешать европейцам оказывать помощь гражданскому обществу, которое выступает против фальсификации президентских выборов".

Комментарии Боррелла прозвучали после неформальной встречи 27 министров иностранных дел ЕС на прошлой неделе в Берлине, на которой Беларусь была одним из основных пунктов повестки дня. На прошедшей в пятницу пресс-конференции по итогам заседания Боррелль подчеркнул, что "Евросоюз не признает результаты выборов и считает действия властей неприемлемыми".

"Мы еще раз выражаем нашу полную поддержку суверенитету и независимости Беларуси, осуждаем насильственные репрессии в отношении белорусского народа и просим власти начать инклюзивный диалог, чтобы выйти из кризиса", - добавил он.

В воскресенье в Минске и других городах Беларуси прошла волна уличных протестов. Десятки тысяч человек собрались у президентского дворца в Минске, призывая президента уйти в отставку. Пока что, ободренный поддержкой президента России Владимира Путина, президент Беларуси Александр Лукашенко остается непокорным, настаивая на том, что новых выборов не будет, но предполагая, что некоторые политические изменения возможны.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
