The UN envoy has a way to continue his role through the remaining powers of the United Nations, which is able to bring the parties back together at a negotiating table committed to reaching a solution that does not violate the foundations on which the political process was founded; as the path that must lead Yemen to the stage of peace.

It is clear that the Middle East is holding its breath. It is promised more terrible days. The interconnectedness of the firestorms threatens to turn into a hurricane. It has never experienced a war with multiple maps like this. A war that overflows the borders of its theaters and in the absence of any international policeman.

Often, the negotiating table is resorted to as Plan B, after the harshness of wars and disasters has been experienced, and after a lot of destruction, devastation, and humanitarian crises have occurred. For negotiations to be successful, there are standards and components that must be present, including the presence of a strong, active and influential mediator capable of accomplishing this task efficiently.
