With just two weeks left in Yemen's two-month cease-fire, the U.N. envoy to the war-torn country says talks with the government and Houthi rebels are going on right now and he hopes the truce will be extended.
A Yemen Airways plane is greeted with a water spray salute at the Sanaa international airport in Sanaa, Yemen, Monday, May, 16, 2022. The first commercial flight in six years took off from Yemen’s rebel-held capital on Monday, officials said, part of a fragile truce in the county’s grinding civil war.
“During these past six weeks we have seen considerable positive impact on the daily lives of many Yemenis,” he told reporters after a closed briefing to the U.N. Security Council. “First, and most importantly, the truce is holding in military terms.” Since the truce, Grundberg said, “fighting has sharply reduced with no aerial attacks emanating from Yemen across its borders and no confirmed airstrikes inside Yemen.”
Among other welcome developments, Grundberg said, the first commercial flight in almost six years took off from Sanaa airport for Jordan’s capital, Amman, on Monday and another flight brought Yemenis back. A second flight to Amman is scheduled for Wednesday.
