UN hopeful of Yemen truce, door is open for more talks
Talks on the war in Yemen ended without agreement on a ceasefire on Friday but the United Nations special envoy who presided over the process said the door was open for more dialogue and he was still hopeful of a truce.
Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, UN Special Envoy for Yemen, said after five days of talks in Geneva that the two sides agreed in principle about the need for a ceasefire and withdrawal of forces, in line with UN Security Council resolution 2216.
