Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the UN's special envoy to Yemen, will head to the southern city of Aden on Monday where he will meet Yemeni government officials with a view to restarting the country's stalled peace process, a government source told Anadolu Agency.
The envoy's visit comes within the context of a regional tour that has already brought him to Saudi capital Riyadh, Qatari capital Doha and Omani capital Muscat, where he has briefed local officials on his ongoing peace efforts.
Peace talks have stalemated in Yemen as the fighting rages on in several front lines. For over 20 months, the country has been devastated by the war between the pro-government forces and Houthi militants backed by allied forces. Peace efforts have backfired repeatedly.
