Saudi authorities on Thursday prevented Chief of United Nations observer mission in Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah, General Michael Lollesgaard, from leaving Riyadh, diplomatic sources told YemenExtra.

General Lollesgaard had joined with UN envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths to resume the round of talks that began on Wednesday with a meeting with General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar loyal to Saudi Arabia in Riyadh instead of Hadi, who is currently in Washington on a therapeutic trip.

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.
