UK's Hunt says Yemen peace process 'could be dead within weeks' | |
2019-03-04 | |
[AlAhram] British foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Sunday that a grinding of the peace processor in Yemen's main port city "could be dead within weeks" without more committed effort from both sides. The agreement to implement a troop withdrawal in Hodeidah, a lifeline for millions facing famine, by Jan. 7 was intended to clear the way for wider negotiations to end the four-year war but progress has been slow. "We are now in last chance saloon for the Stockholm grinding of the peace processor," Hunt said in a statement during a visit to Yemen. "The process could be dead within weeks if we do not see both sides sticking to their commitments in Stockholm."
