Puppet UN Chief Urges Warring Yemen Parties to Start Peace Talks

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Yemen’s warring parties on Tuesday to “engage in good faith” with his envoy on the conflict so that peace talks could start without further delay, his spokesman said.

UN mediator Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed is seeking to persuade Yemen’s Houthi rebels to send representatives to peace talks in Kuwait as a shaky truce declared on April 10 teetered near collapse, delegates said earlier on Tuesday.
