"But when I heard about the failure of the truce renewal, I darted to the station to fill up my bus." Saleh was worried. No fuel means no work. And in a country like Yemen, already impoverished before the conflict started, there are few safety nets. "If the petrol tank of my vehicle is empty, my four children and I will go to bed with empty stomachs," he said. "This is my sole source of income, and the resumption of the war will bring us hunger. The truce expired on October 2 and has yet to be renewed, despite efforts by the UN to sign parties in the conflict on to a new deal. While a truce significantly reduced fighting in the country, the UN has been unable to get the government and the rebels any closer to a lasting peace deal that would end the conflict. Hence it is imperative that a lasting peace deal is finally manifested in Yemen - so that basic Human Rights and Child Rights can be restored in Yemen. We would like to encourage all concerned parties to end hostilities, so that Yemen no longer is a failed state anymore, and can blossom and thrive into a land of Peace and Prosperity.
