Alwaght- The United Nations Special envoy for Yemen has called for cessation of military operations in Yemen in order to start talks on December 15.

Ismail Ould Sheikh Ahmed told reporters on Monday in Sanaa that all the concerned parties welcome the ceasefire, expressing his optimism about the consent to all the concerned parties on the Yemeni crisis to take part in the talks, in which only Yemeni participants would take part in.

The venue of the talks is not known yet, however Ahmed said it would be determined later.

He pointed to "a number of good signs" that a cease-fire, which is to begin the same day, will be respected.

Ahmed said that he believed that the only way to end the suffering of the Yemeni people and to rebuild confidence and mutual respect is through peaceful and inclusive dialogue.

"I call on the parties to adhere to a cease-fire effective the 15th of December in order to create an environment conducive to peace talks, save lives, and give hope to the Yemeni people," he said.
Meanwhile Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement says it will not attend next week’s UN-mediated peace talks in Switzerland unless Saudi Arabia stops aggression against the country.
In a Monday phone interview with Yemen's al-Masirah TV network, Ansarullah spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam said Riyadh should also end its blockade on Yemen.
He also lashed out at Saudi Arabia over sponsoring and supporting terrorist groups wreaking havoc in the southern parts of the conflict-stricken Arab country.
During a meeting with UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Sheikh Ahmed in the Yemeni capital city of Sanaa on Sunday evening, Mohammed Abdulsalam warned about the spread of terrorism and growth of Saudi-backed Takfiri militant outfits in Yemen’s southern provinces.
Yemen has been under military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March. The Saudi military strikes were launched to undermine the Ansarullah movement and bring Hadi back to power.
Almost 7,600 have been killed during the Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen with over 16,00 injured. Most of the casualties are civilians especially women, children and the elderly.
The report noted that the illegal war inflicted damages on hundreds of important installations in the civilian infrastructure including hospitals, schools, mosques, residential quarters, water reservoirs etc.
