United Nation, Jumada I 3, 1438, Jan 31, 2017, SPA -- The United Nations envoy for Yemen strongly condemned today the attack on the De-escalation and Coordination Committee building, which regularly houses UN Staff, in Dhahran Al-Janoub, which is in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia near the Yemeni border. “It is especially tragic that this attack took place at a point in time where we are calling for a restoration of the cessation of hostilities,” UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said. Noting that the building attacked was supposed to host the committee that will oversee the cessation of hostilities and report on violations, the Special Envoy said: “The United Nations maintains a regular presence in this building and this incident is not a sign of good faith.” --More 15:03 LOCAL TIME 12:03 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w322985
