The United Nations’ Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grunberg, described on Thursday the nationwide truce that was in place since April as an “historic opportunity to build trust and to work towards a peaceful settlement of the conflict.”
“On 2nd of October, the day the second extension of the truce ended, the parties regrettably did not reach an agreement on the extension and the expansion of the truce. This has caused new uncertainty for the country and a heightened risk of war,” he told a UN Security Council briefing.
