UN special envoy back to Yemen Monday

Special United Nations Adviser on Yemen Jamal Benomar will start a new visit to the country on Monday in a bid to resolve disputes emerging over a subcommittee of the Southern Issue Working Group, known as the 8+8 Committee, at the National Dialogue Conference. The subcommittee was formed to develop solutions to the Southern issue. It has 16 members, including two representatives of the ruling General People’s Congress. The remaining 14 members come from other political parties, including Al-Hirak, the most prominent Southern group. The UN special envoy will submit today his report about the situation in Yemen and the progress achieved in the dialogue conference to the UN Security Council, Yemeni sources said. Source: MENA
