The
Security Council expressed "grave concern at the situation in Yemen" and the "worsening security situation." It also called for increased humanitarian support from the
international community, while calling for an end to violence in
Yemen amidst an
Arab Spring-linked
civil uprising and the potential growth of
Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. The resolution also requested the
Secretary-General to report back to them on the implementation of this resolution both within the "first 30 days...and every 60 days thereafter." The resolution also called for President
Ali Abdullah Saleh to accept a peace plan brokered by the
Gulf Cooperation Council for an orderly transfer of power and a "full and immediate ceasefire" between the warring factions of Saleh's supporters and the anti-government protesters. It also called for an independent investigation into the event that led to the violence. ==Reactions==
