On September 7, local time, UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Glendberg issued a statement saying that the Houthis recently launched attacks on multiple fronts in Yemen, triggering increasingly intense armed conflict, and the risk of further escalation of the situation is rising. This is an “extremely worrying” development. The statement said that Yemen has experienced conflict for more than 10 years, and if it falls back into an ongoing large-scale armed conflict, it will have serious consequences for the civilian population and will also complicate the already difficult political settlement process. The statement pointed out that the Yemenis to respond to the demands of the Yemeni people for security and effective operation of national institutions and for overcoming conflict and achieving future development needs to be addressed through a credible political process. This political process should focus on resolving the core political, security, and economic issues that have led to the continuation of the conflict in Yemen. Glendberg called on all parties to the conflict to immediately cease all hostilities, exercise maximum restraint, and make full use of existing communication channels, including mechanisms such as the United Nations Military Coordination Commission, to prevent further escalation of the situation. The statement emphasized that all parties must fulfill their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. Glendberg said he will continue to maintain direct contact with all parties concerned to try to contain the current escalation of the situation and maintain space for dialogue. At the same time, he called on regional and international stakeholders to exert influence, make efforts to achieve these goals, and push Yemen back to political negotiations.
