With the 72 hour Cessation of Hostilities in Yemen coming to an end, the United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail OuldCheikh Ahmed urges all parties to agree to its extension for at least another renewable 72 hours.
Mr. President,
I am grateful for this opportunity to brief the Security Council on the latest developments in the pursuit for peace in Yemen.
The Secretary-General is alarmed by the escalation of airstrikes and ground fighting in Yemen and along the Saudi Arabia-Yemen border since the end of talks in Kuwait on 6 August.
I am grateful for the opportunity to brief the Security Council once again on progress in the Kuwait talks and on the prospects for Yemen’s return to peace.
Today I am providing this briefing from Kuwait, two months after the launch of the peace talks.
