Almotamar.net - The UN special envoy to Yemen has called on Yemeni parties to attend Kuwait talks in good faith and flexibility to reach a political solution to the current crisis.

"The path to peace might be difficult, but it is workable," Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said on Friday night in his briefing to the UN Security Council on the situation in Yemen.

The UN envoy stressed that a positive outcome will require difficult compromises from all sides, as well as determination to reach an agreement.

"Yemen is now at a critical crossroad," he told the Security Council. "One path leads to peace while the other can only worsen the security and humanitarian situation."

Ould Cheikh explained that he would ask the participants in the talks to put an operational plan for the points that the talks will start from.

He confirmed that the propsed plan constitutes a solid base for a new political agreement that will help Yemen and Yemenis achieve stability and live peacefully.
