UN envoy in Yemen for talks with rebels on port
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN envoy for Yemen was in Sanaa for talks with rebels aimed at finding a solution to fighting in the port city of Hodeida, which the insurgents hold.
Martin Griffiths is set to meet with the Iran-allied Huthi rebels, who control the capital along with the Red Sea city of Hodeida, home to the country’s most valuable port.
The British diplomat did not make a statement upon his arrival at the Yemeni capital’s international airport.
Griffiths had already been leading UN diplomatic efforts on ending Yemen’s three-year conflict when a UAE-backed government offensive was launched to retake Hodeida port on June 13.
