The Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen (OSESGY) conducted technical meetings last week in Amman with representatives from Yemen and the Joint Forces Command in the UN-facilitated Military Coordination Committee (MCC), according to a press release by OSESGY.
The meetings, according to a press release, focused on the planning and coordination of a potential ceasefire, related security arrangements, and ways to address ongoing security challenges in Yemen.
These meetings, according to a press release, are part of OSESGY’s ongoing engagement with key Yemeni and regional security actors to support efforts aimed at creating conditions conducive to the resumption of an inclusive political process. Last week’s discussions built on earlier rounds held in December 2024 and January 2025 with the same delegations.
Principal Military Adviser, at the OSESGY, Antony Hayward said: “The Military Coordination Committee continues to play a vital role in promoting trust and reducing tensions between the parties”, adding “Its work remains essential to supporting de-escalation and creating the conditions for a sustainable ceasefire.”
Discussions, according to a press release, focused on priority security issues, including mechanisms for de-escalation, incident management, and possible modalities for security guarantees.
The press release concluded that participants also considered options to implement a nationwide ceasefire across land, air, and sea as part of a broader political agreement. The management of frontlines in the context of a ceasefire was also discussed, as well as security arrangements around critical infrastructure, including energy facilities.
