![]() I think that since September last year when we presented to the parties a proposal to renew the truce, which did not, let us be clear, it did not succeed in achieving renewal. Is there hope to renew the truce given that a comprehensive deal is still far off? Or is this left as an unresolved issue without knowing where it will lead? So, the aim and the real challenge that I and my O ffice and all Yemenis face right now is to ensure that we take the necessary steps going from the current situation from a truce towards real steps towards a political settlement and also implementation of a nationwide ceasefire. As long as we do not build on the truce, all the issues that remain to be settled to get to a long-term settlement of the conflict will remain too fragile and will not be able to be settled. So, the truce in itself will not deliver what Yemen needs in full essence. It is an entry point for the settlement of the conflict. And that is that the truce in itself is not enough. But in the end, in the end, the truce has been a window of opportunity, a means…īut the truce for many Yemenis has been a state of no-war/no-peace, which is annoying.Īnd that is exactly the point that I was going to make. It has also provided, possibilities for particular solutions to be delivered and to be implemented, such as the reopening of ports of entry to Yemen, uh, which has been to the benefit of most Yemenis. The truce in itself gave us the opportunity to engage in discussions that we couldn't have before. The truce also gave us an opportunity to achieve breakthroughs on different contentious issues that had been stalled for a very long time and where we could not see any progress. Let us not under evaluate that it remains today the longest period of relative calm that Yemen has experienced since the beginning of the conflict. The truce in that situation was a turning point in the conflict. And with that basis and with that hope and with that firm belief, my O ffice and myself have been working with Yemenis in order to push for one aim, a nd that is a resumption of a political process that can lead to a sustainable settlement of the conflict. And I also believe that peace can be just. And that is a firm belief that Yemenis can resolve the conflict peacefully. And that goes also since before I was appointed as a Special Envoy. And here, the first thing that I think is, the first important message for me to mention, in that sense is the firm belief that I have had since the beginning of my tenure. ![]() ![]() I think, in order to answer that question truthfully, I would like to broaden the answer a bit by putting the truce and all the work that has been done in context. What is new about the truce? Will there be a renewal of the truce? How satisfied are you with the previous truce? So, I am more than happy to be with you.įirst, we appreciate your efforts, and we are very thankful because many breakthroughs happened during your tenure including prisoners’ exchanges and a truce, and much optimism in Yemen. It is my great pleasure to be with you and also to be able to have this conversation with you and all viewers, all Yemenis, to update you and to talk about my reading of the situation and my assessment, but also my hopes for the future and share my thoughts in that regard. Thank you very much for receiving me and for allowing me to be part of, this exchange. ![]() Pull together a complete gift set by adding a Hallmark card and an environmentally friendly Natural Life gift bag-or any of our other gift wrap options.To start, thank you once more, Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg and welcome.
