Merkel Calls for End to Saudi Airstrikes in Yemen

German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for an end to Saudi Arabian airstrikes in Yemen, during a visit to the Saudi coastal city of Jeddah on Sunday.


 “We do not believe that there can be a military solution to this conflict,” Merkel said, expressing support for the UN-led attempt to find a diplomatic solution.

Saudi Arabia has led an air campaign for more than two years against Houthi Ansarallah Movement in Yemen.

Speaking after a meeting with King Salman in Jeddah, Merkel spoke of progress in military relations between Germany and Saudi Arabia, but also criticized the human rights situation in the country, DPA reported.

Earlier on Sunday, Merkel signed an agreement that opens the possibility of Saudi Arabian military personnel being trained at German armed forces facilities.
