United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called on all sides in Yemen to maintain peace and stability in the country. In a press release issued late on Thursday, Ban Ki-moon voiced serious concern about latest developments in Yemen following the resignation of the country's President and Prime Minister.
The UN Chief urged all sides to remain "fully engaged" with his Special Adviser on Yemen, Jamal Benomar, who is currently in Sana'a and is close consultation with stakeholders "to help find a way forward from the current crisis."
He called on all sides to exercise maximum restraint and maintain peace and stability in these uncertain times in the country.
Earlier this week, the Security Council also voiced concerns over the situation in Yemen and similarly called on all sides to engage with Mr. Benomar who, the Council said, remained well placed to support parties' efforts to resolve their differences peacefully.
