Alwaght-Yemen peace talks have ended in Switzerland ended without agreement due to intransigence to Saudi regime’s intransigence and persistent ceasefire violations by the aggressors. Fierce clashes and air strikes by a Saudi-led aggressors pounded northern Yemen on Saturday in total violation of a one week ceasefire amid talks to end the nine-month conflict war on the impoverished state.
The peace talks have been between the national delegation from Yemen which includes the Ansarullah movement and Saudi-led participants who are based in Riyadh and mainly affiliated to fugitive ex-president Abdu Rabbuh Mansour Hadi. The discussions focused mostly on security issues in Yemen, in light of the alarming developments on the ground.
"We have decided to hold the next round of talks on January 14," UN special envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed told reporters on Sunday, adding that the location of the next round had yet to be decided.
Speaking from Bern, Cheikh Ahmed said a week-long ceasefire that began last Monday was not respected in some parts of Yemen, but added that the talks had made "serious progress".
Both sides agreed on a negotiating framework, on setting up a joint de-escalation committee, and they worked on a package of confidence-building measures, he added.
"We are far from a ceasefire," he said about the truce that has been frequently violated by the Saudi-led aggressors adding that he has requested both parties to prolong the ceasefire.
Earlier on Sunday, delegates from the two sides said substantial progress had proved elusive.
"The negotiations have basically failed," said a source with the delegation representing both the Ansarullah.
Sources at the talks say the Saudi-backed delegation turned to be confused as it informed the UN representative that it does not have the powers to approve the major issues, including confirming the ceasefire and lifting the blockade after the Saudi regime rejected to be committed with any of the decisions made at the negotiating table.
Yemen has been under military attacks and a blockade by Saudi Arabia since late March. More than 7,600 people have been killed and over 16,000 others injured. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, mosques and other civilian installations.
