US envoy says Houthis should learn from their losses in Yemen and negotiate peace

LONDON, 09 February 2022, (TON): According to Tim Lenderking, the US special envoy for Yemen “Yemen is in a state of escalatory military action and the Houthi militia must see that their recent losses indicate “there is no military solution and the only pathway forward is dialogue.”

He said “the Houthi offensive on the Yemeni province of Marib, including repeated attacks on civilian areas and against camps for internally displaced persons, has been the primary obstacle to peace efforts.”

Lenderking was speaking during a virtual discussion organized by the US Institute of Peace, in cooperation with the UN Development Program, to examine the latter’s recent report titled Assessing the Impact of War in Yemen: Pathways for Recovery.
