Head of UN monitors arrives in Yemen’s Sanaa
SANAA, Dec 23, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The head of the UN team tasked with
monitoring a fragile ceasefire in Yemen arrived in the rebel-held capital of
Sanaa on Sunday, an AFP photographer said.
Retired Dutch general Patrick Cammaert is heading a joint committee
including members of the government and the Huthi rebels, in charge of
monitoring a ceasefire in the port city of Hodeida.
He is making a stop in Sanaa before heading to Hodeida, a lifeline port
city that serves as the entry point for the majority of imports to war-torn
Yemen, a UN official said, after holding talks Saturday with Yemen government
officials in Aden.
