UN Envoys Hold Talks with Houthis in Oman
(MENAFN) UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg and newly appointed UN official on detention issues, Muin Shreim, traveled to Oman on Monday to engage with Omani authorities and representatives of Ansar Allah, the Houthi military group, according to a note to correspondents released by the Office of the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General on Wednesday.
"They met with Omani officials and Ansar Allah representatives, as part of the UN's ongoing efforts to secure the release of all UN personnel arbitrarily detained by Ansar Allah," the note stated.
During the visit, Grundberg also held talks with senior Omani officials and the Houthi negotiating team, exploring pathways for a negotiated political resolution to end the Yemen conflict, the note added.
Meanwhile, the Houthi authorities in Yemen reportedly detained an additional UN staff member on Monday, raising the total number of detained UN personnel in the country to at least 59, said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, on Monday.
Some of those UN staff members have been held by the Houthis since 2021.
