Yemen conflict cannot be settled through violence, UN envoy

NEW YORK, 24 November 2022, (TON): The UN special envoy for Yemen on Tuesday told Arab News that any attempt to settle the country’s conflict through violence is “unhelpful,” and that a long-term settlement can only be achieved through direct negotiations.
Hans Grundberg was commenting on the Houthi militia’s several drone attacks in the past two months that targeted Yemeni government ports, including one that hit a Greek oil tanker near Al-Dubba oil terminal in Hadramawt governorate.
The Houthis justified the attack as a warning to the government not to use the terminal to export oil. The UN Security Council condemned the attacks.
