The UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grendberg, stressed that the current situation in Yemen is not likely, noting that what Yemen is witnessing now is not a real peace, although the front lines seem relatively stable at the present time.

This came in a briefing by Grendberg, on Wednesday, during a meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation in Yemen.

He stressed the need for the continued involvement of the international community to help the Yemenis achieve their desire to build a stable, prosperous and safe country. 
He explained that there is a need for Yemen's neighbors and its international partners to support a comprehensive political process and able to continue with Yemeni leadership, noting that he held meetings with the parties and the diplomatic community in Riyadh and Muscat, during which he confirmed this message.

He added: “The Yemenis have endured more than ten years of instability, uncertainty and economic collapse. I talk to them directly now and repeat what I said before: I see you and hear you.

And urged the parties to show courage and choose the dialogue, noting that the United Nations will not deviate from its commitment to support them in finding a negotiating settlement of this conflict.

He sent a message to the members of the Security Council, stressing that true peace and security in Yemen can only be achieved through international commitment and coordination and a joint and long -term approach. "Therefore, we must double our efforts to provide a reliable alternative to the war and a vision for Yemen that goes beyond the current situation and stagnation."

The special envoy also touched on the issue of prolonged arbitrary and illegal detention by the Houthi militia for United Nations staff as well as workers in international and national NGOs, civil society and diplomatic missions.

He said that their detention is not only a violation of international law, but also caused a great scary impact throughout the international community, “which will only result in one result: undermining support to Yemen, which will unfortunately affect the most needy Yemenis.”
