Al-Maliki: the UN-brokered truce in Yemen in a “glimmer of hope”

BAGHDAD, April 03 (YPA) – State of Law Coalition leader Nouri al-Maliki in a statement on Sunday expressed his support for the ceasefire in Yemen.

He called the UN-brokered truce a “glimmer of hope” and called on all parties to adhere to the ceasefire and to use the opportunity to work towards achieving a “just and stable peace.”

Maliki added that Yemen had experienced enough human suffering throughout the war.

“The two-month truce started at 7:00 pm (1600 GMT) tonight. As of tonight, all offensive ground, aerial and naval military operations should cease,” UN special envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg said in a statement.
