Jemen Friedensgespräche in Genf
UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed announced on Friday that there had been no agreement between warring factions at the Geneva talks.
"I won't beat around the bush. There was no kind of agreement reached," Ahmed said in a statement.
The Mauritian diplomat told reporters that there were "certain positive signs" in the negotiations, adding that both parties signaled agreement on the need for a ceasefire.
The talks were initially proposed to secure a ceasefire that would allow organizations the opportunity to deliver much-need humanitarian aid.
