UN Envoy: Military Escalation in Red Sea Slows Down Peace Efforts in Yemen
The United Nations envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, has warned of the dangers of military escalation in the Red Sea and said that tension had begun to slow down peace efforts in Yemen. “Mediation efforts in Yemen cannot be neatly cordoned off. What happens regionally impacts Yemen, and what happens in Yemen can impact the region,” Grundberg said Wednesday at a Security Council briefing on Yemen. He expressed his gratitude for the roles of Saudi Arabia and Oman in supporting the UN mediation.
