US State Department: Our stance towards the political solution in Yemen is firm

US State Department said that it has maintained a firm stance towards the need to reach a political solution to the war in Yemen, based on the outcome of the national dialogue, the Gulf Initiative and U.N. Security Council Resolution 2216

An official at the U.S. State Department told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper that his country’s position on Yemen has not changed and stressed the need to implement the relevant international resolutions in this regard

These confirmations from the US State Department came as a reply to the recent statements made by ousted Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in which he said that the three bases for a political solution in Yemen were “dead and were no longer subject for discussion”
