Sources reported to Al Mayadeen on Friday that the UN envoy Hans Grundberg's visit to Sanaa, which was scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed until further notice.

The sources said Grundberg's visit was postponed at the request of Sanaa and cited diplomatic sources as saying that the postponement of the visit was due to a Yemeni refusal to receive the UN envoy.

Earlier, four civilians were injured by the Saudi border guard fire in the Al-Raqu area in the border district of Monabbih, west of Saada Governorate, in northern Yemen.

A military source in the Sanaa government confirmed that the forces of aggression committed 107 new violations of Al-Hudaydah agreement during the past 24 hours, including an infiltration attempt in Maqbanah District.

On Wednesday, a Yemeni private diplomatic source told Al Mayadeen that there was extensive international pressure on Sanaa to allow the resumption of Yemeni oil exports.

The source indicated that the visit of the Omani delegation for the second time in less than two weeks comes to mediate with Sanaa to stop targeting the oil ports in Hadhramout and Shabwa, in the east of the country.

The source considered that "the UN envoy's talk about working on a political settlement is surprising," stressing that the UN envoy is deceiving Yemenis and the world by spreading baseless claims.

"The talks that have been going on for a while revolve around the humanitarian file, but they stalled with the intransigence of the Saudi coalition and their refusal to make any concessions," the private source pointed out.

On Tuesday, the head of the Yemeni negotiating delegation in the Sanaa government, Mohammad Abdul Salam, stated that the difficult humanitarian situation in Yemen is a priority in the ongoing negotiations.

Abdul Salam pointed out that "the intensive visits between Sanaa and Muscat reflect our seriousness in reaching tangible results, and the issue is related to the extent of the seriousness of the other party."

"The humanitarian situation is is a priority in the political negotiations," he stressed.

Abdul Salam's statement comes after a Yemeni insistence throughout the last period to impose the humanitarian file in Yemen as a priority within the ongoing negotiations with the Omani delegation and to separate it from the political demands and conditions under discussion.

Last week, the Sanaa government announced that a delegation from the Sultanate of Oman arrived in the capital "to complete the discussions and transfer the ideas and proposals carried by the Saudi side and international parties to the leadership of Sanaa."
