The UN envoy for Yemen said Monday he will return to the region for talks on reaching a peace deal in the coming weeks, despite all the obstacles established by the Saudi-led team that had rejected the proposals.
"The ball is in the court of the Yemeni parties," Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed told the Security Council.
The envoy has presented a roadmap to the Houthi Ansarullah movement and their allies and the Hadi regime to end 18 months of war that has left nearly 10,000 dead, mostly civilians, and brought the country to its knees.
The proposals call for the appointment of a new vice president and the formation of a national unity government that will oversee a transition leading to elections.
Fugitive Yemeni president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi on Sunday rejected the UN peace proposal.
Ould Cheikh Ahmed said he would return to the region immediately after his report to the council and that his proposed roadmap "should allow a comprehensive settlement in the coming weeks if the parties engage in good faith."
Yemen has been since March 26, 2015 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition.
Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.
Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to Hadi who is a close ally to Saudi Arabia.
