The United Nations [UN] Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on the Saudi regime to stop its aggression on Yemen, as he said in a statement on Sunday.
In a statement read by his spokesman, Ban stressed that the dialogue is the only option to solve the differences between the Yemeni political spectra, ruling out a military solution to end the conflict.
Ban Ki- moon has warned earlier of the repercussions of the continuation of the war in Yemen.
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March 26. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].
The ’civilian’ death toll in Yemen has risen to more than 2,000 with more than 4,000 other civilians wounded in the fighting in the country that has raged for more than a year now, according to the United Nations [UN] recently this week.
The US-led Saudi aggression began in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the country’s fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
