Indian workers residing in the UAE often work at strategic locations such as refineries, which have been the usual targets for the Houthi rebels in the past.

In its attempt to oust the democratically elected government in Yemen, Houthi rebels have tried every trick in the book. With latent support from IRGC—Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps—the Houthi Rebels have planned and executed attacks on the government. 

The disruption in Yemen triggered Saudi Arabia and UAE to enter the conflict; however, UAE soon exited because of the casualties inflicted on civilians by the Houthi rebels. 

In January 2022, the Houthi rebels seized a ship that had seven Indians onboard. 

TS Tirumurti, India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, spoke at the United Nations Security Council meeting, where he mentioned the following: 

“Seven Indian nationals are among the crew members on board the ship and we are deeply concerned about their safety and well-being. We urge the Houthis to immediately release the crew members and the vessel. The Houthis also bear the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the crew members till their release.”

The Government of India has expressed its concerns about the ongoing civil disruption in Yemen.  The intensification of military operations in Yemen has also caused India to all call upon all the involved parties to cease fighting.  India was triggered by the actions of the Houthi rebels that caused two Indians to die and two injured in UAE. 

Furthermore, India has highlighted how the intensification of military action could affect women and children. In addition to the people of Yemen getting affected, the oil price will also take a serious toll if the civil disruption continues.

An article published on Money Control mentions the following: 

“Experts worry that the fresh violence in Yemen would send oil prices soaring as it has the potential to disrupt global oil supplies as Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest exporter of crude oil. Further, Yemen’s proximity to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait (strategically important for global shipping and crude oil supplies), which connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea, is also a concern. If the strait gets blocked, tankers would have to take a longer route around the Horn of Africa, increasing the cost of their voyages and eventually resulting in higher crude oil and liquified natural gas prices.”
