US Special Envoy for Yemen to visit Middle East today

Washington (UNA-OIC) – US Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking is set to arrive in the Middle East today for talks with the Yemeni government and civil society representatives, regional government officials, and other international partners.

The US State Department said in a statement on Wednesday that Lenderking remains focused on the need for the “Houthis to stop their offensive on Marib and repeated attacks against civilian areas, which are exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.”

The special envoy will emphasize the US commitment to work with the international community to press the warring parties to implement crucial economic reforms, secure regular imports and distribution of fuel, and resume commercial flights to the Sana’a airport, the statement added.
