Yemen’s current ceasefire expires Tuesday, and after multiple extensions there is a big push to get another extension in the final days. There seems to be high hopes that the deal is reached.
Even with the expected extension, separatist STC warns nothing is being resolved and sooner or later, “war is coming.”
That’s a concern since months of ceasefire have not yielded serious peace talks. Pessimists see the ceasefire as just extending until it blows up, absent a deal.
Still, people are trying for the peace talks, and the truce is the environment to make it happen. The longer the truce goes, the more time there is to try to get talks going in a real way.
