UN Envoy: Yemeni Parties Resume Dialogue to Resolve Current Crisis


(MENAFN- QNA) The United Nations Envoy to Yemen Jamel Benomar confirmed that the Yemeni political parties which signed the peace and partnership agreement, continue consultations in the Capital Sana'a in a bid to find a solution to the current political crisis in the country.

In another development, Benomar met with the leaders of the Houthi movement in Sana'a on Monday.

The meeting was part of a series of talks during which Benomar is trying to broker a power sharing agreement following the resignation of President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric.

"He has been convening and chairing daily meetings with 16 political parties in order to build consensus on a way forward," added Dujarric.

According to Benomar, a power-sharing deal, "was possible." Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and the cabinet of Prime Minister Khaled Bahah resigned on Thursday after the revolutionaries seized the presidential palace in the capital.

The parliament, however, rejected Hadi’s resignation pending an emergency session.
