UN special envoy demands putting end to war in Yemen without hesitation

UN Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths demanded putting an end to the war in Yemen without hesitation, while stressing the significance of the UN-facilitated political process.
Griffiths, who gave his final conference in that post to the Security Council, stated: "let us, for the sake of Yemen, end this war without delay so that we can begin the real and final battle, the battle for peace."
He further said: "Yemen needs a pluralistic political future, and the UN-facilitated political process must pave the way for them to achieve just that."
The special envoy noted: "we know very well what the people want. It is precisely what this Council wants: stability based on rights and freedoms. Yemen needs, for its survival and the welfare of its citizens, a government that is accountable to its people and united in support of fundamental rights, and an open and prosperous economy."
