No Military Solution to Yemen Conflict: UN Envoy

Local Editor

UN envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed on Monday called for reaching a political solution to the conflict in war-torn Yemen.

 

"There is no alternative to a political solution in Yemen," Ould Cheikh said at a press conference in Saudi Arabia. "A military solution will not be possible" in Yemen, he said.

In March of last year, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies launched a massive military campaign in Yemen aimed at restoring Hadi’s embattled government.

 

UN-brokered peace talks in Kuwait between the Yemeni regime and Houthis have failed to make any breakthrough for resolving the conflict.

The UN envoy insisted that peace talks between the Hadi regime and Houthis have not failed.

The coming period "will be allocated to reaching a comprehensive solution" to the crisis, he said, going on to call for the implementation of UN resolutions for resolving the Yemeni conflict.

On Saturday, Ould Cheikh said the UN-brokered peace talks have been suspended for one month.
