Guterres hopes ceasefire in Yemen will launch ‘political process’ of lasting peace

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres today welcomed the two-month ceasefire that was accepted by the parties to the conflict in Yemen, expressing hope that it would allow a political process of lasting peace to begin in the country.

This momentum must now be used “to ensure that this ceasefire is fully respected and renewed,” he told a news conference.

“This shows that even when things seem impossible, when there is a will to compromise, peace is possible,” he added.

For his part, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson today welcomed the agreement on a nationwide ceasefire in Yemen.

“We now have a window of opportunity to finally ensure peace and an end to humanitarian suffering. I urge all parties to work for a lasting political solution,” he wrote on Twitter.
