Обращение СНГ к Грузии. Президент Беларуси выразил надежду на то, что Грузия вернется в состав СНГ после президентских выборов, но это маловероятно. Однако, участие в качестве наблюдателя возможно.

Саммит одиннадцати стран, которые составляют Содружество Независимых Государств (СНГ), состоялся в эту пятницу в Минске, столице Беларуси. Саммит продолжался несколько часов, в течение которых главы государств сначала встретились в частном порядке, и, затем в расширенном составе. Киргизия и Туркменистан были представлены первыми вице-премьерами.

На саммите было принято 14 соглашений, которые будут добавлены к сотням другим, принятыми СНГ за двадцать два года своего существования, многие из которых остаются только на бумаге.

В конце встречи президент Беларуси Александр Лукашенко заявил на пресс-конференции, что лидеры стран СНГ надеются, что Грузия сможет вернуться в состав организации. Грузия вышла из СНГ в 2009 году после войны между Грузией и Россией в августе 2008 года. В это воскресенье в Грузии запланированны президентские выборы, которые станут концом эпохи правления Саакашвили, которая охарактеризовалась враждебными отношениями между Грузией и Россией. Однако, маловероятно, что новый президент Грузии будет спешить к  воссоединению с СНГ. Предположения, что Грузия сможет участвовать в СНГ в качестве наблюдателя могут сформировать некоторые новые договоренности, как только политическая ситуация в Грузии успокоится после выборов.

Также сюрпризом в Минске стали президенты Армении и Азербайджана, Серж Саргсян и Ильхам Алиев. На их лице чувствовался дискомфорт, когда они сидели рядом друг с другом. О двусторонней встрече между ними не сообщалось, хотя на данный момент сопредседатели Минского процесса ОБСЕ предпринимают усилия для организации личной встречи до конца года.

По окончанию Минского саммита Украина взяла на себя председательство в Организации. Следующий саммит пройдет в Киеве.

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)
