UN envoy on Yemen in new bid to revive peace talks

The UN envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, is on a new regional tour to push Yemen’s peace consultations which are stalled since late last year, even as alarm grows over the humanitarian crisis in the country.


According to Yemeni sources, the envoy will meet Yemeni and Saudi officials in the Saudi capital Riyadh.

Sources close to the UN envoy revealed that work is underway to launch a new round of consultations during the coming month of Ramadan.

 The parties concerned hope that the new round would be the prelude to signing a peace agreement.
