I want to share what I read today. It’s all about the United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen appealed on Thursday to warring parties to implement a nationwide ceasefire and agree on a date for peace talks, in line with a plan to end their conflict. Briefing the UN Security Council, Martin Griffiths highlighted international unity in support of ending six years of fighting between Yemeni Government forces, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, and the Houthi rebels. The UN envoy said that most Yemenis consulted about the conflict “insist that ending the war is the simple, most important objective”. “This massive popular consensus in favour of peace exists in all conflicts. The people are always the champions of peace”, including Yemenis, he said.
