NEW YORK: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon announced plans to appoint his new envoy to Yemen.
The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon informed the Security Council that he plans to appoint Mauritanian diplomat Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed as his new envoy to Yemen, replacing Morocco’s Jamal Benomar.
Jamal Benomar had resigned last week after losing support for his mediation efforts from oil-rich Gulf countries.
