Pak Sahafat – Hans Grundberg, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Yemen, said: During yesterday’s talks in the Jordanian capital Amman, a new proposal was made to the two parties involved in the Yemeni crisis to reach an agreement to reopen roads in Taiz province and other provinces in accordance with the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency, quoting Sputnik news agency, The Office of the United Nations Special Representative for Yemen’s Office said in a statement: Following talks with the two sides, UN Special Representative for Yemen Hans Grundberg proposed a revised proposal for the gradual reopening of roads, including an executive mechanism to ensure the safety of civilian passengers to the government (Yemeni puppet of Saudi Arabia) and the Yemeni Ansarullah movement.
The statement added: The final proposal is based on the reopening of roads, including an entry and exit line to Taiz, as well as roads in other provinces, with the aim of helping solve the problems of civilians and facilitating the entry of goods into these areas.
In addition to the considerations reflected by Yemeni civil society, the proposal package also includes suggestions and concerns from both sides.
The statement from the Office of the UN Special Representative for Yemen also stressed: This is the first step in our collective effort to remove the restrictions on the movement of Yemeni women, men and children inside the country, and the serious engagement to implement this UN proposal and prioritize the interests of civilians and achieve direct and tangible results for the Yemeni people.
The UN Special Representative for Yemen expressed hope that the proposal would build the capacity to advance negotiations for more sustainable action in the process of multilateral efforts to resolve the crisis.

The Red Cross wants to turn the Yemeni ceasefire into a permanent ceasefire
Grundberg announced last Thursday that the parties to the conflict in Yemen had agreed to extend the ceasefire for another two months.
At the suggestion of the United Nations, a two-month ceasefire was established in Yemen on April 2nd (April 13th), the most important of which was the arrival of 18 fuel-carrying ships in the ports of Al-Hudaidah and the permission of two weekly round-trip flights from Sanaa Airport.
Following the end of the ceasefire, which has been repeatedly violated by the Saudi aggression coalition, UN consultations began to renew it, and finally last Thursday, the UN special envoy for Yemen announced that an agreement had been reached to extend it for two months.
The Yemeni Supreme Political Council stressed last Wednesday that the extension of the ceasefire is conditional on the fulfillment of all obligations under the ceasefire period and compensation for violations.
On April 26, 2015, Saudi Arabia launched a large-scale offensive against Yemen, the poorest Arab country, in the form of a coalition of several Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, with the help and green light of the United States and the Zionist regime.
Contrary to the Saudis’ expectations, their attacks hit the stronghold of the Yemeni people’s resistance, and after seven years of stability and painful Yemeni strikes deep into Saudi territory, particularly the Aramco facility, Riyadh was forced to accept a ceasefire in hopes of exiting the Yemeni war.
