William Hague has issued a “clear warning” to insurgents in Yemen that the United Nations was poised to take serious action.

The Foreign Secretary said any attempt to disrupt elections held in the nation next year would spur the UN security council into action.

Mr Hague issued the warning after hosting a ministerial-level meeting of the international Friends of Yemen group in London. Representatives from more than 35 countries and international organisations attended the talks on political, economic and security challenges in the nation.
