Answer
A nationwide ceasefire will only have an effect on the ground if it is underpinned by a political deal between the conflict parties. A political settlement is the only way to bring long-term stability to Yemen and to address the worsening humanitarian crisis. The Yemeni parties must engage constructively and in good faith to overcome obstacles and find a political solution to end the conflict.
