During a Security Council meeting on Monday, UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg stated that despite the recent positive developments in Yamen, such as the relative calm and historic mass prisoner exchange, the conflicting parties need to commit to their responsibilities to achieve lasting peace and end the war.
“I believe we have not seen such a serious opportunity for making progress towards ending the conflict in eight years.”, Grundberg noted.
He stressed on taking measures to relieve the dire economic and humanitarian situations in Yamen.
