UN to relaunch Yemen peace talks plan within two months

A new framework for negotiations to end the war in Yemen will be presented to the United Nations Security Council within the next two months.

That is the assurance of the new UN Special Envoy on Yemen, Martin Griffiths who was appointed in February.

He also briefed the council for the first time about the humanitarian crisis in the country, where eight million people face famine.
