"The previous strategy of local agreements prior to the Yemeni national talks, such as the Hodeidah agreement, was no longer appropriate," said Martin Griffiths, the UN special envoy to Yemen.
Griffiths added, in a statement to the British Guardian newspaper, that the decisive motive for the national talks on forming a transitional national coalition government is the implementation of the agreement sponsored by the Saudis last November, between the government of Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi and the Southern Transitional Council.
He stressed that "progress in the agreement is vital if we are to launch broad political talks."
The Special Envoy said: "The remarkable achievements to reduce the escalation are extremely dangerous, and we are in danger of returning to a war that no one will win."
He stated that "there was a great rupture of confidence and a great loss of life for unconfirmed regional gains."
He warned that the sudden escalation of violence in Yemen could hinder fragile moves towards a peaceful settlement.
He added that the escalation of violence "tells us that the war has not ended yet ... everyone wants to get rid of the escalation, yet it seems difficult to achieve. It is a matter of who wins first."
Griffiths, who called for an emergency Security Council meeting, said he had "a very real fear of the situation slipping" in an area that has already become less safe because of the repercussions of the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in a US air raid in Baghdad earlier this month.
On the recent attack on a mosque in the Shariah forces camp in Marib, the international envoy said that it was "tragic, terrible and inexplicable."
And the UN envoy considered that his job is to converge between the parties and not condemnation, adding: "My mission is to find common grounds instead of judging the parties, but we need to understand why it happened."
