The UN special envoy for Yemen on Saturday (July 15th) urged the country's warring parties to make "decisions that will prove your true intentions", as peace talks resumed in Kuwait, AFP reported.
Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said the negotiations, back on after a 15-day suspension, would last for two weeks.
"It is time for decisive decisions that will prove your true intentions and national responsibilities to Yemenis," he told a meeting of the two delegations late Saturday.
The envoy said the discussions between the two sides would focus on strengthening a ceasefire that came into effect on April 11th but has been repeatedly violated.
They also would deal with "forming the military committees that will supervise the withdrawal and handover of weapons... and opening safe passages for humanitarian aid", he said.
Ould Cheikh Ahmed said over the past two weeks he had held intensive talks in Sanaa, Riyadh and Muscat and met with many dignitaries who declared their support for a final settlement.
"I hope that you will seize this opportunity which could be the last to win the trust of Yemeni people," the UN envoy added.
