UN Envoy Urges Restraint Over Yemen

Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed 

The UN special envoy for Yemen on Saturday urged maximum restraint by all parties involved in Yemen and warned of an increasingly uncertain situation in the region.

The envoy, Hans Grundberg, “notes with serious concern the increasingly precarious regional context, and its adverse impact on peace efforts in Yemen and stability and security in the region,” he said in a statement, noting that the US and Britain said that they carried out the airstrikes to deter the Houthis from launching attacks on commercial ships in the international shipping lanes of the Red Sea, which threaten global trade and drive up the cost of commodities.
