The head of Yemen’s national delegation on Friday hailed a new UN Security Council resolution as a “positive and important step in halting the Saudi-led coalition’s aggression” against Yemen.
In a post on his Twitter page, Mohamed Abdel Salam stated that “despite our remarks to some of its terms and implications”, this resolution would pave the way for a political solution despite.
He also condemned the “American position that refuses to include the investigation into the appalling violations against the Yemenis.”
Earlier in the day, the United Nations’ Security Council unanimously authorized a UN observer team to begin monitoring and facilitating the ceasefire established in Yemen's strategic port city of Hodeida.
The organization endorsed a resolution that authorizes a 30-day "advance team to begin monitoring and to support and facilitate the immediate implementation" of the ceasefire agreement.
It calls on UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to submit a proposal before the end of the month on how the United Nations will fully support the ceasefire agreement, including "substantive monitoring operations," reached during the peace talks in Sweden between Yemen's popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and the resigned regime.
