A nationwide ceasefire will only have an effect on the ground if it is underpinned by a political deal between the conflict parties. A political solution is the only way to bring long-term stability to Yemen and to address the worsening humanitarian crisis. The Yemeni parties must engage constructively and in good faith with the UN Special Envoy to overcome obstacles to progress and find a political settlement to end the conflict.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison grouped question UIN 290648 question first answered 03/10/2019 10:32:22 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

While the Government of Yemen has agreed to the UN redeployment plan, the Houthis have not yet agreed to the UN plan. It is important that neither side exploits the redeployment process.
