Gulf-Omani Diplomatic Efforts Intensify to Secure Release of Filipino Seafarers Held by Houthi Militias
Aden — Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations, led by Oman, are actively engaged in high-level diplomatic negotiations aimed at securing the safe release of Filipino sailors reportedly detained by Houthi militias in Yemen. The seafarers were taken into custody last month in the Red Sea region while navigating waters near Houthi-controlled territories. According to regional sources, their vessel had encountered mechanical difficulties, making it vulnerable to interception. Omani officials, known for their neutral stance and history of successful mediation in regional conflicts, have spearheaded backchannel dialogues with Houthi representatives. The initiative has garnered support from Gulf partners, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as part of broader efforts to de-escalate tensions and protect maritime personnel in conflict zones. An Omani foreign ministry source stated: 'The safety of civilian maritime workers is a shared humanitarian priority. We are working diligently and discreetly to facilitate a peaceful resolution.' The Philippines' embassy in Riyadh has been closely coordinating with GCC mediators and expressed gratitude for the swift diplomatic response. Meanwhile, international maritime organizations have called for the unconditional release of the sailors, citing international maritime law and human rights obligations.
