RIYADH, 03 June 2022, (TON): UN envoy to Yemen said “Yemen’s warring parties agreed to extend a UN-brokered truce for two months under the same terms as the original deal that was due to expire.”
A Yemeni official said “delegations from the internationally recognized government and the Houthis are expected to return to the Jordanian capital Amman to continue talks.”
The truce had brought a halt to major military operations and cross-border attacks by the Houthis on targets in Saudi Arabia, and eased food supply issues in Yemen.
United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg said “for the past two months, Yemenis have experienced the tangible benefits of the truce.”
The truce is the most significant step in years toward ending the conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people.
