The Special Envoy for Yemen, Martin Griffiths, has just arrived in Sana’a for a two-day visit.

He commended once again yesterday's unilateral release of detainees by Ansar Allah.

“Such initiatives help create a conducive environment and build confidence for the resumption of the peace process”, Mr. Griffiths said.

The Special Envoy hopes this will encourage parties to renew their commitments towards the exchange of prisoners and detainees in accordance with what they agreed upon in Stockholm.
