The regime led by resigned President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi has rejected a British initiative to revive talks about the political process in Yemen, a source close to Hadi told Saudi newspaper Okaz.
According to Quds Press on Friday, the source said that Britain informed Hadi of some ideas for the initiative, which has a political and humanitarian basis and ignores the military aspect. In many ways, it is said, the British proposal is similar to the initiative suggested by former US Secretary of State John Kerry. However, added the source, the other permanent members of the UN Security Council also reject the British plan.
The UN Envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Sheik Ahmed, visited Riyadh in October, where Hadi’s regime sits in exile. The visit was part of a tour to revive the peace talks which have been frozen for about a year. Local sources revealed that the envoy proposed a humanitarian initiative to the Yemeni regime and the ambassadors of the five Security Council permanent member states.
