Griffiths called for seizing the opportunity because it is now favorable.
"There are signs that give hope to the people of Yemen," Griffiths said.
During his briefing, he said that the signals emanate from the south in particular, but also from the north, which he said "is witnessing a decrease in the level of violence, in addition to showing the parties good intentions such as the release 290 prisoners by "Ansar Allah” and the government of Yemen is finding ways to allow ships loaded with fuel to enter Hodeidah.
"These signs are fragile and require special care and further initiatives," Griffiths said.
