Local Editor

The UN envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said he had met Yemeni parties participating in the peace consultations in Kuwait to develop a strategic framework to combine the proposals of the two delegations and narrow the gap and contribute to finding a quick solution to the issue of the "Al-Amaliqa" military base.

The envoy in a statement distributed at dawn today following his meeting with delegations of the Yemeni regime, the General People’s Congress, and the Ansarullah movement, as well as political and diplomatic figures that the general framework established by the UN is based on common ground and paves way for a comprehensive, political and strategic path that would assure citizens "security and political stability."

He said, "we are currently discussing this general framework through bilateral meeting with the Yemeni parties till we can define their priorities and build on the common ground." He said he also met with Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Dr. Abdullatif Al-Zayani and discussed with him developments of the peace talks relying on his usual support for the efforts of the United Nations and on his long experience in dealing with the Yemeni file.

The Yemeni regime delegation suspended its participation in the UN-brokered peace negotiations currently hosted by Kuwait.

The revolutionaries and the Yemeni army have taken control over Al-Amaliqa military base late last night in the province of Amran in retaliation to Saudi attacks.
