Aden- U.N. special envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, on Sunday, announced that Yemeni parties have agreed on holding the next round of negotiations in Kuwait. On social media outlets, U.N. envoy Ahmed highlighted some indicators for a Yemeni-Yemeni consensus for future peace talks to take place in Kuwait.

After visiting Sana’a, Ahmed mentioned that major positive signs are leading the political course this time, “and are reinforced with both internal and external blessings,” he added.

Kuwaiti Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah announced that his country is fully prepared to host the Yemeni peace talks.

“So that we contribute to the achievement peace and to spare bloodshed among brothers,” Al-Jarrallah said.

Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi’s administration confirmed that it does not mind holding the next round of negotiations in Kuwait.

A presidential source, who requested anonymity, told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper that “the problem no longer is concerning the place, but rather the extent of commitment the militias show to the implementation of U.N. resolution 2216, in addition to trust-sbuilding measures; freeing political captives being the first.”

“Insurgent militias are defeated on the inside, and the rift between the ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh and Houthis is clear, and both are providing waivers,” he added.

“The brusque strike pro-Saleh militants took against Houthis on social media and the Houthis –without consulting Saleh supporters- entering a border ceasefire with Saudi Arabia,” indicate the widening rift the insurgency is suffering.

In the meantime, Yemeni President Hadi convened with his advisors to discuss the upcoming negotiations.

Yemeni Presidential Advisor Dr. Mohammed Al-Amri told Asharq Al-Awsat Newspaper that the “pro-legitimacy delegation for the upcoming negotiations did not change, and it will keep the same members and advisors.”

“The main topics that will be dealt at the peace talks, on behalf of the pro-legitimacy delegation, are: withdrawal from cities and governmental institutions, freeing political captives, and allowing access for humanitarian relief,” Dr. Al-Amri added.
