In an interview with Al-Hayat, AGSIW Executive Vice President Ambassador Stephen A. Seche commented on the stalemated Yemeni peace talks in Kuwait. Seche noted that U.N. Secretary-General “Ban Ki-moon’s interference came too late and will likely come to no avail. Ban Ki-moon’s efforts only reflect the concerns of the international community that the talks might fail.” Seche also mentioned that the Saudi-led coalition will stick with military efforts and “storming” Sanaa is “imminent.” He added, “the talks showed that the warring Yemeni factions are either unable or unwilling to make concessions in order to reach a compromise on salient issues.”
