Saudi-Houthi peace talks conclude, more rounds planned FMTNews FMTWorld
RIYADH: A Saudi delegation yesterday concluded peace talks in the Yemeni capital Sanaa with the Houthi movement whose officials cited progress and said further discussions were needed to iron out remaining differences.
Two Yemeni sources said the Saudi team departed Sanaa yesterday following a visit that signalled movement to build on an expired UN-brokered truce and followed last month’s deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran to restore ties.Another Houthi official, Abdulmalik Alejri, said on Twitter that “with determination and honest intentions remaining difficulties can be resolved”.
Two Yemeni sources, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the parties could agree on an extended truce deal as they work out remaining differences. The conflict, in which the coalition intervened against the Houthis after they ousted the Saudi-backed government from Sanaa in late 2014, is a multifaceted one with several Yemeni factions vying for influence.The internationally recognised government is represented by a presidential council formed under Saudi auspices last year which took over power from Yemen’s president-in-exile.
