He stated that this requires a comprehensive solution beginning with sustainable armistice to pave the way for a political solution guaranteeing unity.
As for the Yemeni situation, Abulgheit commented that the arrival at political settlement remains to be farfetched despite de-escalation efforts.
He further stressed that preserving a united Yemen, with complete sovereignty away from foreign infringements is an aim sought after by all, and is attainable should Houthi side realize that they could be part of a comprehensive political process.
